Old Farm Machinery in Australia: A Fieldguide and Sourcebook by Phillip Simpson and Margaret Simpson offers a vivid overview of historic farm equipment across the continent. The illustrated trade paperback blends photography and concise descriptions, making it a useful reference for collectors, historians, and anyone interested in Australian agriculture and technology.

First published in 1991 by Simon & Schuster Australia, this reprint remains a popular resource for students, young adults and adult readers alike. Its 160 pages cover a wide range of topics, from engineering details to the cultural context of farming machinery in Australian history.

The book is in good condition with light ageing, some foxing and marks on page edges, and a yellowed front inner cover, but the pages are clean, tidy and the binding stays tight. It comes from a smoke‑free home and shows no major damage.

Ideal for those building a reference library on farming, engineering, or Australian heritage, this illustrated guide provides clear, accessible information without overwhelming technical jargon.
