Wonder what that caravan looks like fully deployed?

Holy hell! I've just realised that caravan folds down into a much smaller package. That's really odd, but clever. Like a tiny little bondwood transformer.
What's the mechanical device on that trailer behind the red vehicle? Is it a hand pumping mechanism? I don't recall Peter manton, but then I have forgotten things a lot more recent than that.

G'day Tony,
I am not trying to tell you a Furphy - however that red tank towed by the 1939 Chevrolet is actually a Furphy Tank - as Mike Kelly pointed out. If you had taken a wee diversion from where Bryce's graduation was held then you might have arrived in Shepparton. Once there you could have taken the Furphy Tank Museum tour. The tanks have a strong link to Australian Military history for providing water to the fronts - plus they bred a colloquialism that is associated with Australian folk lore. Accessed October 23, 2016 from http://www.furphys.com.au/who-we-are/furphy-water-cart Kind Regards Lionel

Furphy
Yes Furphy ..... the device on the trailer is a hand pump . He told me its a original ex RAAF Furphy trailer which is also a rare survivor .
I found this film of a 1940 ute in Egypt with a cable laying device ..doors removed for air flow. This ute has the same GMH bodywork. The body has a wooden frame and they were fragile to begin with . https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F07021/ And a YMCA ute https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F03438/ At the end of this film a YMCA ute is seen , a 1941 model . https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/F01223/

Norm Beechey, Ian Geoghegan and Bob Jane I recall all lurching around Sandown in bloody big "Yank Tanks" in mid to late 60s (I rode many miles on the pushie to get there). Yep, Peter Manton was the Mini king. (Thinking Norm was Camaro, Ian in a Pontiac and Bob a Mustang? Norm with window down and arm resting on top of door, just one hand on wheel?)

Who?
Mike, to answer you question, no I don't remember Norm Beechey.
Mainly because he retired about the same time I was born. But I certainly know who he is. His awesome Monaro, and his Shell Charger!
