Each January, the historic Southland town of Edendale is transformed for a weekend as one of New Zealand’s biggest annual vintage machinery events roars into action.
The town is now home to one of the biggest milk processing plants in the world – but it’s Crank Up that really gets Edendale’s wheels spinning.
The festival feel rolls into action on Friday night with a main street parade ushering in the weekend’s festivities. Many impressive labours of love are proudly on display that has been passed down through generations – a one-stop shop for seeing hundreds of vehicles and hulking mechanical beasts.
