With the top of image to the left, then, would be for those in the '8th State of Australia', also known as Kiwis or 'New Zilandaars'!!

(except those taking refuge in Kalgoorlie, in which case the top of image would be to the 'roight'......)

Sorry Mike, I wasn't thinking of you. I'm not sure I can do one on a 45, for a "West islander" taking refuge in Norf Merica.

Hi Guys

Nah, keep it going I am loving it. Good old Aussie humour. I am sure Gina won't mind.

Cheers

Tony

It's just sporting rivalry, like trans Tasman rugby.

Hijacking!... Find me 5 threads that haven't been.... We all do it!

Default It's a cooks trailer because...

Made by Cooks Body Works Pty Ltd.
Trailer Lightweight, Cargo, 750kg, (Cooks), MC2.
NSN 2330-66-114-3051
trailer is intended to carry the generator 2.5 kVa and general cargo up to a payload of 750kg. Designed, primarily for towing behind the Land Rover family of vehicles; however, may be towed by any other suitably equipped towing vehicle.
Trailer has an Aggregated Trailer Mass rating of 1200kg.
12 volt DC light system.

Depending what will tow it, towing eye height is 471mm (laden) to 587mm (unladen).

These trailers were a limited buy primarily for Signal units, but many other units utilised them depending on location and entitlement.
The canvas canopy will be a limited buy item as there were not many of these trailers, and I think it would be quicker to get that remade from the pattern that you have, rather than waiting for an item to come up in disposal (I could be wrong).
