The Vintage Truck and Machinery Show, at the Glen Innes Showground, showcases the moving parts that kept New England going.
Both the trucks that carried the produce out to the world’s markets and brought in the goods we desired, and the machines – the engines – that kept the shearing sheds producing the wool that kept much of the world warm, will be on display.
The show brings together enthusiasts who renovate the machines.

Mr Sharman, organiser of the show’s engine section, said renovating a forgotten engine rusting away in a paddock was deeply satisfying.
He has 32 engines in different stages of restoration, some of them in the shed behind his Glen Innes house.
