The Lake Goldsmith Steam Preservation Association was established in the late 1950s, with a handful of remnant engines operating in a paddock nostalgically re-creating a bygone era.
Lake Goldsmith is unique on the Australian Steam Rally scene in that it has permanent sheds owned by club members which house their magnificent toys.
This is a great family outing just outside of Ballarat. Food and refreshments available all weekend.
Tree-lined exhibition enclosures draw in portable displays of historic agricultural machinery and the engines that once drove them.
Regular attractions include 65 display sheds, steam and oil engines, steam powered shovels and saw mill, displays of earthmoving, cars, motorcycles, tractors and trucks, radio controlled model boats, blacksmithing, threshing, boilerhouse tours, grand parade daily, kids activities and on-site catering.
Attractions for all ages.
