Let's get ready to roll!

Meet "Susie". This Aveling & Porter Steamroller was built in 1928 and has a six horsepower engine. It was used in road building by the Fingal Council in Tasmania before being sold in 1957. It was fully restored in 1980 by Eric Howe, and its current livery comes from owners Terry and Sue Dooley who bought it in 2009. It just goes to show that you need devoted collectors to keep these machines in perfect working order.
