Deloraine Probus members enjoyed a fun outing to Pearn’s Steam World at Westbury. 

Run by friendly and dedicated volunteers, it was a morning of engaging in the agricultural heritage of the region. 

Originally brought together by the Pearn family since the 1950s, it’s now considered to be one of the finest attractions of its type in the Southern hemisphere.

From the expansive collection of steam engines, tractors, farm implements to the beautiful sole steam boat, it allowed for an informative stroll through the large sheds.

The tour began at the interpretation centre at the old settler’s cottage where many reminisced in childhood memories.

The visit culminated in having a ride or two around the grounds in the mini train, which had members gaily waving with smiles to match while the camera snappers were kept busy.

The morning finished with the takeover of a local café before going home for what was surely a lazy afternoon.
