Really enjoyed the day, roaming among all of that wonderful old machinery.. It was like being a young boy again, seeing so many things from my childhood days.. Wonderful machines and wonderful people.. This great day made a great impression on my 10 y.o. grandson who loved just about everything. (Especially the steam train)? Thank you to all those involved .. A truly great experience...
This is a wonderful record of Steamfest 2024. As one of the back room volunteers I did not get to see the whole event but wow we put on a good show! Thank you so much for for your efforts recording it!
beautiful footage , captured the memories wonderfully . in the 16 yrs of attending i am yet to find time to watch the racing / tractor pull. Footage for the archives. Thank you . something to look back on in future yrs.
Hi Gerald, thanks for commenting. The entire long weekend is always so enjoyable, tho when I do these videos, it ends up being like work and I dont get to enjoy it as much. Will be doing a final video with some (hopefully) slightly different perspectives again.
Great work Ted, well covered, really enjoyed the variety of tractors and traction engines. Hay baling and thrashing, the old fashioned way, enjoyed that. Little steam train had good patronage too, only gripe from me was you missed the classic trucks, but they are not steamed powered eh!
Steamfest and the tramway was created by Chris Martin, son of founding member Peter Martin one of the four original founding members of the Tasmanian Steam Preservation Society and Second River Railway based on Second River Road, outside Lilydale . A great group of people, Jack Shannon, Johnny Allen, Ralph Proctor. People ahead of their time saving industrial history from scap back in the 1960's.
The funny thing is, despite going back and forwards and seeing that scene many times, I never even noticed, but now I do haha Good chatting, catch you there next time :-)
Bloody Aussies driving tractors, what next, they were riding horses when I was there in 1955, we shipped the very first TV broardcasting unit out on the MV Port Lincoln Landed it in Melborn then it went overland to Sydney.
In years gone by, my travels often took me past the "Second River Railway" on the farm near Lilydale? I was always on the look out to see if the loco was fired up?
Interesting event with all the vintage equipment. Nice work with all the filming, editing, drone shots, special effects and everything !!

Quality! And I got to see the baler in action in this one. Cheers for your efforts again.
Thanks again. I put a bit more effort into this one and had just bought a flash new ground camera which was on its first outing!

Cheers Dave, and I'm sorry I didnt get any coverage of your trucks again, but will next year for sure :-)

Hi from Aust. And fortunately we were a late adopter and subsequently ended up with the PAL system :-)
