Every farm in W.A. seems to have all their old machinery just rusting away near their sheds or in their paddocks. When something dies, they just park it and there it stays forever and a day. On the property where we are staying, there are dozens of old trucks, cars, harvesters, ploughs and even a grader just rusting away. Here are a few pictures of them.
This truck is a Diamond Rio.
This is an old Sunshine harvester and you can still see the writing and the sun symbol.
Then you have the working relics like this old Chamberlain tractor that they use at harvest time for towing around bins and for the PTOs to auger the seed into the trucks.
There's also an old Mack truck and a couple of old White trucks they use for storage and seed cleaning, etc. The boss says “You’d be lucky to find a truck under 20 years old on their property”. Thank god the tractors and headers are new.
