Tractors pull in

THE quiet coastal village of Tooradin is set to come alive on Saturday for the town’s 16th annual Tooradin Tractor Pull and Truck Show.
With perfect weather predicated, thousands of people are expected to head to Rutter Reserve for the action-packed event.
The highlight of the event is the tractor pull in which drivers of hotted-up tractors compete to pull a metal sled, which becomes heavier the further it is pulled, the furthest down the track.
Another highlight is the truck show, where some of the best rigs from around the country will compete for the number of prizes up for grabs.
The truck show takes place from 10am to 3pm and the tractor pull kicks off at 3pm and runs through until 10pm.
The cost is $25 for adults, $10 for children and $60 for families, with discounts available for those arriving before noon.
