VINTAGE vehicles did more than delight onlookers at the weekend’s heritage truck and vehicle display event in Longwarry.
Some were used as assisted rescuers.
A bogged steamroller would not budge after sinking into a soft dirt track.
Shovel-wielding spectators attempted to free the roller by removing the surrounding dirt.
It wasn’t until a steam engine tractor was called in that the roller was back in action.
Barrie Smith captured images of the rescue as it happened on Sunday 7 February.
