I think it was one of the vehicles that accompanied the early Land Rover Ambulance trials - the trip through Qld and central Australia, early 1960s.

Yep, the 1960-61 trials in northern and central Australia: you can see the Leyland FV1119(A) heavy recovery tractor in the background (but Australia purchased the much better M543 wrecker instead).
The Inter was termed a 'Truck, Semitrailer, IHC, Experimental'. The design didn't get beyond the experimental. This was the second set of Outback trails for the L/R Ambulance: the first they were pretty much on their own, just the two prototypes. Mike C

Interesting, 8 stud hubs I wonder did it originally have 16 inch blitz rims.
Cheers Ken

McGrath trailer
I have recently acquired a TRAILER 4 WHEELED 7 TON G S (AUST) No 1 with converter 2 Wh. They have 20' 8 stud wheels. Definitely original. But the front axle has been converted to 10.00 singles ( they cut the rims up and welded 7" spider rims to the centres).
It has Vacuum brakes on the rear axle, the air tank, relay valve and master cylinder are there but not a air chamber as shown in one of the earlier photos. If anybody has a PBR T110 combination master cylinder unit to take air and vacuum power cylinders. Please let me know as it may be pulled by a truck with air brakes. It has a cast iron ID plate the full length of the steelwork between the rear shackles with the serial number 84?? cast in it. The dolly has had a similar plate but only the boltholes are there The top piece of the round front and spare tyre carrier have been cut off. The floor needs A bit of work,!!$$!! In the 1960's I bought a very similar trailer it had 8 stud rims but a square front and was number 8244.

Aust No1
Hi John,
Nice find. The Semi-trailer, 7 ton GS (Aust) No.1 had a square front and a heavy-duty oil-well type turntable and a four wheel bogie with 8.25-20 tyres (although the type is also listed with 10.50-18 as well: an alternative or maybe earlier?). It was the same design as used for the specialist semi-trailers, such as the Pontoon, SBG and Boring Plant, but with a plain deck without the specialised fittings. The other Aust 7 ton semi-trailers were: No.2: round front, McGrath turntable No. 2A: square front, McGrath turntable No.3: round front, McGrath quick-release turntable, fitted with booster brakes. No.4: square front, Army-design turntable, drop sides. All the No.2 to No.4 were single axle with dual wheels. The dolly is a 'Converter, Semi-trailer, 2-wheeled (Aust)' for use with semi-trailers with quick-release turntables. Tractors were either Ford, Inter, Dodge MC or CMP Ford or Chev.
