About this place
What to expect
This monument to Western Australian agriculture, manufacturing, and heritage can be found on Yarra Street in Carnamah, a town and farming community 300 kilometres north of Perth on the Midlands Road. The tractor is a five-times replica of the Chamberlain 40K, which was the first tractor manufactured in Western Australia in 1949. The 40k and the models that followed played a significant role in the development of WA's agricultural regions after the Second World War. The tractor is 11.5 metres high, and 16 metres long, was constructed using 42 tonnes of steel by DIAB Engineering in Geraldton, and was funded mostly by Tracmach, private and corporate donations. Visitors are welcome to check out the Carnamah Museum, Tractor Museum, Macpherson Homestead, The Bank Gallery, Mulliah / Yarra Yarra Lakes, The Exchange, and local cafe One L of a Good Feed. The best days to visit are Wednesday to Sunday.
