The Bucyrus Erie dragline excavator, an amazing piece of construction machinery located in the Lions Park at the entrance to town.
This excavator is one of four machines imported from the USA and used to excavate the main channels in the Murray Valley. After finishing the Malawa canal it was bought to Coleambally to commence the canal work in the local area. On completion the machine was driven to it’s present site.
