Join us for a tour of the fascinating Barlow Engine Museum on Sunday the 12th of March.
This private museum houses one of the finest collections of stationary engines in the world, including a very rare copy of an 1867 Otto atmospheric engine (the world's first internal combustion engine engine, a non-compression hydrogen fueled engine) and a faithful reproduction of an 1883 Benz “Patent Motor-Wagen” (the world's first car), amongst many other interesting exhibits. A number of these will be able to be run on the day.
Meeting in Richmond, we will take a drive to the lower Blue Mountains before making our way to the museum, where after morning tea we will be given a tour by Dr Allen & Annie Barlow.
The Barlow Engine Museum is located at 55 Frogmore Rd, Orchard Hills and secure parking is available on site.
Meet: 8:45 am at McDonalds, Corner of March & East Market St, Richmond for a 9:00 am departure.
Cost: $8 for morning tea - tea, coffee and cakes.
Bookings: By Tuesday 7 March 2023. Bookings and payment are to be made through our Wild Apricot membership system at this link.
