THE SOUTH COAST RESTORATION SOCIETY, 32nd ANNUAL
RALLY, PIMPAMA, QUEENSLAND, 2013: The
Rally had it all, Stationary Engines, Steam Engines, Classic Cars and
Motorcycles, Historic Tractors and farming displays. The Rally highlight for me
was the successful running of the 'Aveling & Porter Steam Roller', (hereinafter
referred to as the 'Roller'), which had languished in a Park for fifty two years
and then endured a further eight years of major restoration.
THE 'AVELING & PORTER STEAM ROLLER':
Enduring a total of sixty (60) years of Park Display and Restoration, the
'Roller', sans roof for now, successfully completed some shake down manoeuvres
during the Rally.
