Big Lizzie

Red Cliffs features a permanent public exhibit called Big Lizzie, a large tractor. Frank Bottrill was the designer, builder and operator of "Big Lizzie". One of its features was the use of the Bottrill Dreadnaught wheel which he designed, and which he also fitted to other machines. Bottrill was inspired by his experiences in the 1800s witnessing the suffering of camels carrying heavy loads. The wheel was designed to work in sandy soils. The design was effective but was later superseded by the caterpillar track. When it was built, "Big Lizzie" was the biggest tractor in Australia, and thought to be the biggest in the world, at 34 feet (10 m) high by 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, and weighing 45 tons. It had two trailers also fitted with Bottrill wheels.^[9][10][11]

The tractor received an Engineering Heritage Marker from Engineers Australia as part of its Engineering Heritage Recognition Program.^[12]

Lunarfest

The Red Cliffs Lunarfest was held every March to celebrate the end of the grape harvest. The event included a street parade, musical performances, street market, bicycle race and an evening outdoor film screening.^[13] It was organised by the Red Cliffs Rotary Club.
