On Sunday morning there is Tractor and Vehicle Trek . The Model and Unique Vehicle Show showcases running and static models , plus model and toy sales .

The Kenworth Klassic will feature over 500 Kenworth trucks , as well as over 300 trucks from other brands , from vintage Peterbilts to Macs . A display of special edition SAR and W models , known as Gold Nuggets , of which only 30 were made , will be on show .

A tractor-pulled ride trailer will come in handy to ferry sore-footed people around the grounds and there will be lots of items on sale from collectable stalls . The tractor pull is the biggest one in the southern hemisphere , and together with running steam engines , vintage engines and the huge 106 litre turbo charged Blackstone diesel ( ironically named Tiny ), there is something for all to enjoy .

tractors made before 1940 , Chevrolet trucks , and vintage motorcycles .
