20.01.2022 The Booleroo Steam & Traction Annual Rally is over for another year. The tractors and steam engines are all tucked into their sheds (with their furry slippers on) for another year. To all the volunteers who have given freely of their time to help with the set up and pack up - without your help this day would not have been possible. Thankyou also to all those who contributed with exhibits, displays and marketplace stalls. We will post some photos in the coming weeks.
