WANTED - Tradies/Handymen

The Psyche Steamies operate and maintain the historic Psyche Bend Pumps in conjunction with its management Committee. These pumps are an operating, living relic from our history and are a visual cornerstone to Mildura’s very existence.

Being a volunteer group we operate on a shoestring budget usually funded through visitor donations. We are seeking the assistance of community minded tradies / handymen to help us maintain our buildings, equipment and surrounds.

From time to time we require additional assistance which is beyond the skill level of our volunteers. This works includes building maintenance and repairs, plumbing, electrical etc. Some works are at roof level utilizing a cherry picker.

Ideally we would like to establish a register of capable persons such that we can discuss works on a job by job basis as they emerge.

Interested persons can contact our Secretary Ron on 0428 147 515

It won’t be this hot at Psyche this Easter Sunday, but we will be running!

See you out there from 10.30am

As we move further into autumn and the weather starts to cool down a bit, warm yourself up with this photo from the Bruce McLean collection. The thermometer shown reads 143°F (61°C)!

"It Was Hot!"

Sunraysia Daily

YOU might have thought it was hot in the street yesterday, but that was almost nothing to what it was at the Billabong pumps. The thermometer in Albert Hollow's hand was reading 143, but Bob Hensgen still had to keep stoking the boilers.
