🚜 EXHIBITOR SPOTLIGHT — THE COOPER FAMILY 🚜

34 DAYS TO GO!

The Queensland Heritage Rally isn't just about the machinery — it's about the people and families who keep our mechanical heritage alive.

This year, we're delighted to welcome Craig, Cindy & Hayden Cooper from Biloela, Central Queensland, who will be making the journey south to Stanthorpe with their collection of Case tractors.

Members of the Callide Dawson Machinery Preservation Club Inc., the Cooper family have a long-standing passion for preserving and sharing Queensland's agricultural machinery heritage.

From Biloela in Central Queensland to Stanthorpe on the Granite Belt, their Case tractors will be making the journey to join hundreds of other historic machines at QHR2026.

For Craig, Cindy and Hayden, it's about more than bringing tractors to a rally.

It's about sharing the history, keeping the machines working and passing the passion on to the next generation.

And that's exactly what the Queensland Heritage Rally is all about.

So, when you're walking through the displays at Stanthorpe, make sure you look out for the Cooper family's Case tractors and stop by for a chat.

You never know — you might just find yourself talking Case tractors for longer than you planned! 😉
