We comprise the lower half of the state of NSW, covering 430,000 square kilometers or 165, 000 square miles. We are a new chapter and held our inaugural meeting in January 2019. Our members are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, are committed to the preservation of antique caterpillar machinery, and have a fine range of tractors. Our president Phil Rye has several historic caterpillars from construction of the Snowy Scheme, as well as many other antique CATs.

What's Happening
NHMA Rally Mudgee 2023
Chapters 29 and 19 had a great time catching up at the National Historic Machinery Association (NHMA) Rally in Mudgee 14-16th April 2023. We would like to extend our thanks to the NHMA and the Australian Rural Education Centre for organizing a great rally. Thanks to everyone for their time, effort, and the long distances traveled with machines that made the display a success. Thanks also to Glen Slocombe for running a merchandise stall and to all Chapter 19 members for making the long hike from Victoria. Leanne and Michelle from The Old Machinery Magazine (TOMM) have run a story on Chapter 29's D9H restoration project. Phil Rye, Andy Divall, and Gavin Handley all participated in the interview with TOMM and we look forward to seeing the published article. Below are some of the highlights from Mudgee.
