Linda and I headed off on Saturday morning to visit one of my sisters who lives out near Cowra. It was a beautiful day for a drive as we headed off, with a morning tea stop at Gunning and a look at a couple of Garage sales. We then continued along the expressway to Yass and headed West out to Boorowa
We stopped at a small town for fuel and a quick look around and after a chat with the petrol station owner we were off on a quick detour to have a look at an old caravan. We tracked down Mal and organised a time in the morning to have a look at his van.
And this is Mal's Gracemuir caravan that he has owned for about 8 years. He has just returned from an 8 week holiday to Queensland in it.
Then later on Sunday morning we met up with a mate of my Nephew who I was in contact with over the phone a few times about 8 years ago after he bought a Propert Folding Caravan.
And to my Surprise this is Mat's Propert.
Well its not actually a Propert, but some one has built there own version of a Propert and this would be the first copied Propert that I have come across in about 16 years. It doesnt have the folding mechanism fitted to the side, so to fold out the van the Top shell is lifted up into position, then you go in through the door and lift up the Second shell and lock it in with some wooden pegs.
While we where there one of Mats friends told us about another old caravan back in town, so off we headed again in search of another treasure.
And this is what we found.
Iam not sure what it is but it definately is an English caravan. The outside looks a bit rough but it is in fairly good condition.
Well we didnt get to spend a great deal of time with my sister and her family but we did end up unearthing a few caravans and Linda and I had another great weekend together.
