2008 Vintage Engine Crank-up draws great crowds

The “2008 Vintage Engine Crank-up”, run by the Upper Yarra Valley Historical Society, and which was held at the Upper Yarra Museum on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of April drew some great crowds.
The museum, located at the Old Yarra Junction Train Station on the Warburton Highway in Yarra Junction, had a fascinating selection of old steam engines powering water pumps, wood cutters, waterwheels and all sorts of other stuff.
The huge steam roller that was also rolling around the venue, letting of its whistle and puffs of white steam, was a big favourite as well.
The scouts were providing food out of the old caravan and every one seemed to have a great old time and the raffle collected some well needed money which will go towards providing a working radiator for the old car which is being worked on.
Oh yeah…photos are coming soon. And dont forget to add it into your calendar for next year when it should be held during the the 4th and 5th of April 2009 :)
