A couple of massive events this weekend with the Festival of Transport celebrating 30 years in Alice Springs and the second weekend of the 10 day NHMA National Rally at Kingsthorpe near Toowoomba.
It's all about Steam at Kingsthorpe this year which is why we're featuring Steve Hood's Case tractor. Our photo was taken by Desert Dog at the Nanango Power Up Show n Shine 2025.
