Not content with a monument on a plinth, Wentworth has a grey fergie tractor on a pole as well.
The little grey fergie, the grey Massey Ferguson tractor, became an icon in Wentworth in 1956. With floods threatening the town from both the Murray and Darling rivers, volunteers on their tractors built and repaired leveesĀ 24 hours a day. The light and nimble fergie proved more useful than it’s bigger heavier brethren in this delicate work and they saved the town from complete inundation.
