Sunshine Harvester. - a photo on Flickriver

            H.V. McKay.
It is a name synonymous with Australian agricultural machinery, the name being H.V. McKay.

Hugh Victor McKay was born 21 August 1865 – 21 May 1926 at Drummartin, Victoria.

Leaving school at age 13 he read about combine harvesters in California. 

He became one of the first Australians to build and test a stripper harvester.

In 1885 H.V. McKay patented the "Sunshine" harvester and in 1906 he would move his business from Ballarat to Braybrook Junction where in the following year the area would be named in honour of his creation, Sunshine. 

As a brand name Sunshine would last for 80 years and established H.V. McKay as one of Australia's revolutionary fa
rm machinery manufacturers.

This particular H.V. McKay Sunshine Header is located in the grounds of the Forbes Tourism Information Centre and is a proud reminder of the area's farming heritage.
