Fergie Memorial Statue

The 'little grey' Ferguson tractor wrote itself into the annals of local history through the integral part it played in saving Wentworth fron the 1956 floods.

Flood waters raced towards Wentworth via both the Darling and Murray rivers, resulting in a third of Wentworth going under water. Wentworth became an island in an inland sea.

An earlier monument to the town-saving Fergies was erected at the corner of Adelaide and Darling Streets in Wentworth in 1959 and still remains there to this day. This earlier cairn is the world's first monument to a tractor and is worth visiting also.
