On Friday 12th March 2010, in Bicentennial Park, Henty on the
Olympic Way,the official opening occurred of the Headlie Taylor
Header shed and blacksmith shop.Now,all travellers through the
region can take time to marvel at the history of this
invention.
Headlie's crowning success came in 1920, when a prolific harvest
was flattened by wild storms.The factory worked day and night for
two months to produce 1,024 machines with special Headlie crop
lifters,which saved the crop.More successes followed including the
" Autoheader " ,which was the forerunner of todays harvesting
machines.Headlie Taylor was a pioneer in farm machinery,and the
blacksmith shop and replica 1915 header at Henty now stand as a
memorial to this remarkable Australian not to be missed.
The cache is a 200ml sistema which contains plenty of swaps plus a
log book and pencil within a zip-lock bag.Stealth will be required
in this popular rest stop area,which is full of history and
facilities. FTF HONOURS TO........haveanez
