Trewhella
That was the brand name of an item the Australians designed for cutting fingers off. (I think they called it a jack)

The name
So by the look of that the name was made from "Trentham" and "Wallaby" - Trewalla, or it may have been a coincidence with the surname - I see it is Trewalla bros.

Tony you are probably right. This jack was designed for grubbing stumps and standing posts. My grandfather with a couple of helpers stood posts that were 4' in the ground and 20' out when he built a hay shed. The horse draged the post to the hole, a crowbar was placed in the hole oposite to the bottom of the pole for the poll to run down then the pole was jacked up several times using falked sticks to prop it between jackings until it finally fell into the hole.

Bratt Colban
Hi I've just found this thread whilst searching for information on Bratt Colban winches. I have 2 of these to restore and was wondering if anyone has more information on them.

Here in Queensland they were also used to lift up sugar cane wagons back on the tracks if they derailed. I bought my Wallaby Jack off a retired sugar cane farmer. I still have all my fingers too. Kind Regards Lionel
