We made a lunch stop at Bulladelah when moving from Forster to Jimmy's Beach recently and saw this beauty on a big block near the shops. It's smaller than the ones in the advertisement and to me looks a bit unbalanced, but heck, wrap round windows and your own verandah, way to go ;)

A mid 1960's Millard caravan that was recently advertised on ebay. Its interesting to note that it was originally sold by Castle Caravans with a chassis number of M4803.

This is a video I produced from the 2013 Museum of the Long Weekend which was held on Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra.

Starting from the 7 minute 50 second mark till the end is a documentary on the History of Millard Caravans in Australia that was produced by Michelle Darlington, who is the daughter of John Mullard Darlington, that was the founder of Millard Caravans.

As a side note it was interesting to find out how the name Millard came about.
Dont know the answer?
Well you had just better watch the video.
