The Bucyrus Erie dragline, an amazing piece of construction machinery, is located in the Lions Park at the entrance to town. It truly represents the beginnings of Coleambally, as without this excavator to construct the extensive irrigation system, the town would not exist.
One of four machines that was imported from the USA in 1935 and used to excavate the main channels in the Murray Valley and the Coleambally Irrigation Area. They were ‘walked’ to Coleambally from Deniliquin following completion of the Mulwala canal and commenced work in the district in 1958. In 1978 the machine was driven to its present site and it is still in working condition. It is still in working order but is only started during the biennial Vintage Machinery Rally
