We'd like to give a special mention to Jeff Eggins, Donna Crampton & Robert Gill who drove their Fergie tractors from Bonville NSW (south of Coffs Harbour) to Bendemeer - a journey of 246km.
They left Bonville on Thursday morning, stayed at Ebor overnight, then continued their journey down the New England to Bendemeer and were greeted by a number of owners and their Fergies out on the New England Highway on Friday afternoon.
On Sunday they made the return journey and were farewelled and led out of Bendemeer by a contingent of Fergie owners. Jeff rang Anne Doak the next day when they arrived home and said that "he had a tear in his eye when we were there waving them goodbye". What a tremendous effort they made to make it to the Muster. Well done!
Some photos will be posted very soon in the meantime just a small clip of the Grand Parade
