THE CLUB GROUNDS
Located on Geoff Raph Drive, off Warren Truss Drive, right next to the Kingaroy Airport, the new club grounds are the permanent home of the Kingaroy & District Vintage Machinery Club Inc. Originally a disused paddock, the club had "The Peanut Paddock", on a lease since 1998. The club secured a long term lease on the larger expanded block in early 2013. Since then a massive amount of work has occurred with the grounds to partially clear and level the new 30 acre holding.
Within the first 6 months a new club shed has been constructed, a world class tractor pull arena crafted, machinery loading ramps built and a dedicated camping area started. Check out below on some of the additions we have made.

"THE SHED"
The headquarters and heart of all current activity on the site, this is where we hold our regular club meetings, have a softdrink or two and generally hang out.

LOADING RAMPS
When ya gotta move some heavy machinery off or onto a rig, this is the ducks guts for ease and safety. Multiple loading/unloading points allow large numbers of machines to be moved onto and off the site at the same time.

TRACTOR PULL ARENA
KIngaroys tractor pull arena is world class and the best track in Australia hands down. Sculpted by blood and sweat from the red soil plains of Kingaroy, supported by medicinal doses of mysterious white bear and Northern Pale Ale, the ground has been nurtured and refined by the local mechanical craftsmen who toil for the peanuts we all enjoy around the bar.
But there is more to be done.
Already hosting exhibition events for visiting modified tractors , this arena will continue to develop to become the epicentre of vintage and modified tractor pulling in Australia.

EXHIBITOR CAMPING AREA
Looking after our members and visitors is a top priority at Kingaroy. We want you to enjoy your stay. When you come to our grounds for an event you deserve to have a little comfort. Yes, it's only basic but we have beautiful hot showers for the guys and girls and as we develop the amenities we are working on bringing full power to our sites and handy drinking water for those that might like to boil the billy. No one will want to leave!

THE PEANUT PADDOCK
Used for cropping peanuts which help pay our bills and help us put on our yearly events, the peanut paddock is the mecca for tractor and vintage farm machinery pilgrims.
You want to see what your machine can do?
This is where you can really put your equipment to the real world test, no holds barred. Don't cry in your soup if a bit of red dirt gets on your million dollar paint job though, don't bring your toys if you are scared of a little real farming dirt.
Big Boys toys rule here.
