An antique Sunshine Header Harvester dating back to the turn of last century will be going up for auction near Goondiwindi on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The auction will mark the end of an era for the Norman family, which has farmed in the area for more than 160 years.<\/p>\n

The antique harvester will be available for public purchase, but if a registered charity or community group places the winning bid, they will receive the item for free.<\/p>\n

“We hope this item goes to someone in the local area, whether that is a bidder or a local registered charity or museum,” a family representative said.<\/p>\n

“It will be a great opportunity to keep local history in the community and tell stories of the original upbringings of the area.<\/p>\n

“This harvester gained the reputation as the first successful combine harvester in Australia, so who knows what it could sell for if there are a few keen bidders interested in local farming history.”<\/p>\n

The metal constructed chain-and-cog system header was originally invented by Hugh Victor McKay.<\/p>\n

The company went on to become the largest factory in the southern hemisphere in its early stages of development.<\/p>\n

The harvester is part of a large farming auction clearance with more than 1000 lots.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most lots do not have reserves, and online bidding is now open.<\/p>\n

Some of the other equipment in the auction includes crawler tractors, old trucks, planters, ploughs, grader boards and other farming implements.<\/p>\n

Items can also be seen online<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
