abc.net.au | When Kulin farmer Fred Davis's harvester burst into flames almost 40 years ago, he could not have imagined it would spark a wildly successful fundraising campaign for his local football club.
The flames had burnt through several hectares of Mr Davis's wheat and left him without a machine to harvest the rest of his crop.
So in 1984 what is now the Kulin-Kondinin Football Club stepped in to lend a hand, bringing headers, chaser bins and trucks to the property to get the job done together and starting a tradition that continues to this day.
