24 Oct Wild Flowers Too…

Not all of FMM’s transport collection is motorised – the museum has a number of classic bicycles in its portfolio, too. And when it came to continuing its support of the annual Darling Wildflower Show – at 101 years, the oldest-running show of its kind in the world – FMM provided a 1950 Hercules delivery bicycle to form part of the extensive display of flora that concentrates on promoting conservation for the next generation. Despite the Cape drought, the show featured the usual variety of activities for young and old, craft and food stalls, farm visits, tractor rides, guided tours and lectures as well as vehicle displays. More than 7 000 people attended the three-day event.
