History of the Sunshine Harvester in Australia
Hugh Victor (H. V.) McKay was one of the first Australians to create and test a stripper-harvester. McKay patented the "Sunshine" harvester in 1885. McKay moved his business from Ballarat to Braybrook Junction in 1906 and the area was renamed Sunshine the following year. The history of Sunshine as a brand lasted 80 years.
