The Lake Goldsmith Steam Preservation Association was established in the late 1950s, with a handful of remnant engines operating in a paddock nostalgically re-creating a bygone era. From that point, the movement has advanced to the position, where not only is it acclaimed as Australia’s premier steam rally, but to that of international recognition. This is a great family outing just outside of Ballarat. Food and refreshments will be available all weekend. The feature of the 123rd Rally is Ronaldson Tippet machinery. Regular Attractions include: 65 Display Sheds, Steam and Oil Engines, Steam powered shovels and sawmills, Displays of vintage earthmoving, cars, motorcycles, tractors and trucks, Radio controlled model boats, Blacksmithing, and Threshing. Attractions for all ages.
