A member of our group Bev Morton, brought fellow Goorambat resident Murray Stokes, who has a passion for restoring heritage hay balers, to talk about hay balers at our June meeting Stock & Land members Bev Morton and David Palmer with S&L's June speaker Murray Stokes. Murray showed slides and a film “Bringing an Old Hay Baler Back to Life” which he and Bev made last year, of a 1940s Cliff and Bunting 23 hay baler, originally manufactured in Coburg, which Murray rebuilt from parts discarded on a farm. Murray and Bev also showed “Bill Stockman’s Hay Days”, which they compiled in 2016 for Bill Stockman in Iowa in the US, of his last annual hay baling day where a gathering of antique hay baler enthusiasts paraded their restored hay balers and tractors. Murray also showed a film he produced, “Thyra, Australia antique hay baling festival”, of a parade of restored International Harvester balers held in Thyra, New South Wales in April 2015. Our speakers on Tuesday July 2 will be Helen and David Kennett of Pinjarra Alpacas near Strathbogie.
