Get ready to dig in and have some fun at the Sydney Dragway when Australia’s largest construction industry expo makes its return in May 2025. The National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo (DD&T) is the most anticipated earthmoving industry event on the calendar and a must-see for everyone who moves earth for a living.
DD&T is a family-friendly event that spans three days and gives the public a chance to see the amazing technology and innovation driving the national construction industry. It’s not just machines though – you’ll also find food trucks, showbags, merchandise, and more! Once again, if you attend this year and find the WesTrac stand, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with all the latest Cat equipment.
Here’s the details:
There is a small general admission fee for adults, while kids are free. Use the discount code WESTAC10 at check out to get 10% off.

Another big launch is happening at Site U10 this year with the unveiling of the new Cat 285 Compact Track Loader!
With an impressive lift height of 3.7 metres and an operating capacity of over 3 tonnes, the new 285 is sure to impress! The WesTrac team will have daily machine walkarounds throughout the weekend so there’ll be plenty of time to jump inside the cab and get a feel for the new model.
You won’t want to miss it; this is the exclusive first look at this machine in Australia!
Check out your next Cat machine at the event, with a wide range of construction equipment and attachments on display at the WesTrac site.
This includes Cat Skid Steer Loaders, Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Motor Graders and more.
WesTrac will have machine deals available all weekend, with sales reps on hand to help make the purchase of your next Cat machine or attachment a breeze.
A special addition to this years’ display will be the centennial grey Cat 938K Wheel Loader, making its debut this year. Visit Site U10 to get an up-close look!
It’s not just Cat machinery and attachments on display at the WesTrac stand, our Aftermarket Team will be on hand to discuss all the services and solutions WesTrac has on offer to help you keep your machines in the dirt for longer.
Whether you are taking care of your machine yourself or you’d like us to do it for you, there are lots of ways WesTrac can assist including preventative maintenance, fluid health analysis, Genuine Cat Parts, Custom Track Inspections (CTS), FitFleet® Customer Value Agreements, field servicing, hose manufacturing, machine painting, and more.
With so much on offer, we understand it can be tough to work out which services and solutions are right for your business. Our aftermarket specialists will be on hand to help guide you through the importance of aftermarket care and how easy and cost-effective it is to implement.
WesTrac will also have not one, but two dig pits at their site to display the latest Cat technology on a range of small to large machines. In addition to daily demos, you’ll have the chance to step into the dig pit and move some dirt around to experience the quality of the technology firsthand. Visitors keen to take a test drive will need to wear steel-capped boots.
Make sure you wear your steel-capped boots to the event!
Haven't got boots? Head over to our new online Cat Merchandise shop to buy some.
We’ll be demonstrating the latest in Cat machinery, technology and more across the weekend at DD&T.
Explore the future of excavation with a remotely operated Cat Next Generation 320 Excavator, located 200 km away at the WesTrac Tomago Dig Pit.
The control centre offers a bird's eye view of the site with pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, and offers a display from four onboard machine cameras for a 360-degree perspective.
Cat Command allows operators to control machines from a safe distance, reducing risks in hazardous environments and minimising operator fatigue.
To celebrate 100 years of groundbreaking innovation, engineering excellence, and industry leadership, Caterpillar are offering an unbeatable 1% finance rate* on a wide range of small to medium construction machines until 30 June 2025.

The biggest prize on the wheel is a five-minute turn on a mini excavator in our dig pit for you or your child! If you are lucky enough to land on this, you’ll receive a five-minute turn slot on a mini excavator later in the day at the next available time.
If you (or your children) have always wanted to get a photo next to a big Cat machine (like the one pictured), you won’t want to miss checking out our machine display and saying hi to one of our team members – who will be more than happy to take a photo for you.
