On Sunday, 7th June, 2026, on Wentworth main street in New South Wales, 110 Ferguson tractors gathered in one location to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the 1956 floods.
In 1956, Wentworth Murray River flood waters peaked at 9.75 metres after significant rain and the resilient residents of this region worked tirelessly using their Ferguson tractors to resolve this devastating issue to preserve Wentworth and other areas in the region going under.
Wentworth Shire Council hosted this 70th anniversary and to this day you can still see the determination in the residents resolve to celebrate every 5 years the outstand bravery of the 1956 folk and their remarkable Ferguson little grey tractors.
Australian community spirit at its best....
