Episode Details

Ilfracombe’s iconic Machinery Mile just got a turbocharged upgrade with four vintage tractors—some from the 1930s—donated by the Queensland Museum, part of a larger collection once owned by earthmoving legend Bert Theiss. This open-air museum, stretching nearly the whole town and housing 190 historic machines since 1969, now offers even deeper immersion into Australia’s industrial past. Free to the public, it’s a hands-on tribute to the builders of the nation, with new tractors soon to be protected under a new shed. It’s not just a roadside attraction—it’s a living monument to grit, ingenuity, and the machines that shaped a country.
