More from Steamfest

As promised here are some more pictures from Steamfest. As you can see it didn't have to be powered by steam to feature. The coach gave rides around the market area past the helicopter (also not powered by steam!).

I'm not sure they are the historically correct breed of horses for a coach but they did a good job. Even having the helicopter land behind the photographer didn't spook them. At least not as much as it did the photographer. It is not easy holding onto your hat and taking a photo at the same time.

The traction engine featured in the rally area and here has just backed up the attach a trailer which it proceeded to haul around for a while. It was just one of the engines in steam.

There were also stationary engines that pumped water around and round. Some that weren't connected to anything seemed very unstable, they just sat there shaking.


Also on display were several old cars and even a blitz wagon Bush Fire truck.
