Default KATY'S in Australia

Going through the AWM SEARCH base

I found evidence of Austin K2/Y 's on issue with

1st Aust.Ambulance Car Company Brisbane
2nd " Sydney
3rd " Melbourne

The drivers were AWAS. Some interesting pics there .The 3rd AACC was based in South Melbourne , Kavanagh st , which is now Southbank I think .The depot was a McKewans hardware store , Melbournians will remember them lasting into the 1980's .

At least one K2/Y has survived here , in NSW .


The AACC 's had a variety of vehicles on issue... CMP's , Indian pattern Fords Chevs and Dodges .
