Bucyrus-Erie Dragline Excavator

The Bucyrus Erie dragline excavator is an amazing piece of construction machinery located in Lions Park at the entrance to town. This excavator is one of four machines imported from the USA and used to excavate the main channels in the Murray Valley. After finishing the Malawa Canal it was bought by Coleambally to commence the canal work in the local area. On completion, the machine was driven to its present site. It is still in working order and was commissioned when the Riverina Vintage Machinery Club held their biennial rally in August. It is an ideal spot for a refreshing break with a gas barbecue, rest facilities and an excellent playground for children.
