Vintage tractors to visit Granite Belt

The tractor trekking will occur on Saturday 26 March.

Over 30 vintage tractors will take part in a tractor trek in the Granite Belt area on Saturday 26 March.

The event is being hosted by the Downs Vintage Machinery Club, with tractors coming from across the Darling Downs, Lockyer Valley, Fassifern Valley, and South and North Burnett regions.

The tractors will trek through areas of Dalveen, Cottonvale and Pozieres, and will depart from Dalveen Community Hall at 8.00am and return to the hall between 4.30pm and 5pm.

There will also be a break at Dalveen Community Hall at 10am.

Maps showing the travel routes are being displayed at Dalveen Community Hall, Dalveen Post Office, Pozieres State School, and The Summit Store.

Locals are encouraged to drive down to their farm gate or other vantage points to view the tractors as they pass by.

If you are on the roads in the area on Saturday 26 March, be on the lookout for the escort vehicles, which will be travelling at the front and rear of the convoy of tractors.

All trekking tractors are registered and the event has the required approval permits from the Southern Downs Regional Council and Queensland Police Department.
