The 31st annual Annual Steam Spectacular, held at Pearn’s Steam World, will run across three days from November 3-5.
Pearn’s Steam World secretary Robert Hill said there would be something for everyone.
“We have steam engines operating a threshing drum, a saw bench, and a baler – so the old vintage farm equipment,” he said.

“We’ve got the 60th anniversary of Massey-Ferguson on the Sunday and Monday, and International tractors on the Saturday.
“And we’ll have what is promising to be the largest collection of mechanical fair and street organs in the state, probably ever.”
A miniature steam engine will provide rides for families around the yard, along with a steam-hauled train.
“We’re really aiming for the whole family,” Mr Hill added.
Pearn’s Steam World has been operating since 1987 and features a nationally significant assortment of steam traction engines, tractors, farm equipment and memorabilia collected from the 1950’s by the three late Pearn Brothers, Jack, Verdun and Zenith.
Gates open at 9am, with entry priced at $10 for adults and $5 for children – which includes a free train ride.
