The Lynn Cameron Machinery Mile commemorates the contribution to the Ilfracombe community by Lynn Cameron. Ilfracombe's Folk Museum is renowned throughout the region as the 'great machinery mile'. It's a huge display
of historic machinery and equipment that stretches along the edge of the Landsborough Highway at Ilfracombe. The machinery has been collected from all around the district and depicts the development of the pastoral and transport industries in central-west Queensland.
Lynn Cameron was a sheep grazier from Ilfracombe and was involved with the museum for 25 years. One of Mr Cameron's favourite exhibits was an old tractor
that dates back to 1917. He said it's believed to be the only one of its kind left in the world.
