Tractors trek through town

A convoy of nine vintage tractors dating from 1949 made its way along Warkworth’s Queen Street on March 15 as part of a trek from Kaihere to Cape Reinga and back.
 
Members of the David Brown Club and Far and Wide Tractor Trekking were raising money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and by the time they reached Sandspit Holiday Park for an overnight stay, they had raised $1500.
 
Group member Robin Hill said the great thing about trekking on a tractor was that “you get to take in your surroundings while moving at 25km per hour”.
