2026-09-26 09:00 - 13:00 | 15 Tinaburra Road, Yungaburra, 15 Tinaburra Road, Yungaburra, QLD, 4884, Australia
The Yungaburra Heritage Tractor & Machinery Day will return to Lions Oval, Tinaburra Drive, Yungaburra, on Saturday 26 September 2026 from 9:00am to 1:00pm, celebrating the rich agricultural history and mechanical heritage of the Atherton Tablelands.
Now in its second year, this growing community event will feature an impressive display of heritage tractors, trucks, engines and machinery used in agriculture across the Atherton Tablelands and wider region. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet passionate collectors and enthusiasts while learning about the machines that helped shape the region’s agricultural and economic development.
A key highlight of the day will be live tractor pull demonstrations by NQ Tractor Pulling Inc., running throughout the morning. This demonstration will showcase vintage and classic tractors as they pull a purpose-built weight transfer sled along a 120-metre track, offering a powerful and engaging display of heritage machinery in action. Importantly, this is a demonstration only, providing an exciting showcase rather than a formal competition.
NQ Tractor Pulling Inc., established in 2018, has grown to include around 100 members from Mossman to Proserpine and regularly hosts events across North Queensland, promoting interest in vintage and classic tractor pulling.
Visitors can also enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly morning featuring heritage machinery displays, with refreshments available for purchase from the Lions Food Van and The Whippy Express, along with Lions train rides available by gold coin donation.
With the popular Yungaburra Markets taking place uptown at the market grounds on the same morning, visitors are encouraged to make a day of it and explore all that the village has to offer.
The event is proudly presented by the Lions Club of Yungaburra, with proceeds supporting their local community initiatives, including the Medical Aid Equipment Project, which provides essential equipment to people across the Tablelands recovering from surgery, receiving palliative care, or unable to afford necessary medical aids.
The Lions Club warmly welcomes new members and encourages anyone interested in supporting their community to get involved.
All members of the community are invited to attend.
