Bought by the president of the club about 1998 and assembled at Beerburrum and used for a few years .
Dismantled and moved to Kilcoy about 2005
Obtained by Jeanette a couple or so years later
And now you have it
Jeanette may want to put in some dates as well
I hope you get some good use out of it
I maybe even tempted to travel to the opening when you have it
Cheers
PS No pics as it was never assembled when owned by the club.

Oh wow! what a history. Jeanette said from 2007 till a few days ago she had it i think. but that is really fantastic even more motivation for me to get it pristine and working again.
Any other pics of it throughout history? maybe from your friend?
thanks again
steve
