The Hazelman Collection

Some years ago I attended the Echuca rally and encountered exhibits (around 20) presented by members of the Hazelman family - local to the area. Before the 2003 event Lorraine Hazelman got in touch with me and gave me some more details on these engines owned by her family. At the 2003 event I met Lorraine and Trev and of course, their monster Fowler Moses, I was looking forward to a ride on Moses, but things doing what things sometimes do this did not eventuate during the day - life is like that sometimes!

This article comprises information sent to me by Lorraine, some gleaned from the 2003 rally program and my pictures from both the 1999 and 2003 events.
