Re: OT Caroline Kennedy in shitbox rally
"In Australia, a swag is a portable sleeping unit. It is normally a bundle of belongings rolled in a traditional fashion to be carried by a foot traveller in the bush. Before motor transport was common, foot travel over long distances was essential to agriculture in the Australian bush.""
A Swagman or Swagie walked everywhere with his sleeping bundle especially during the depression. A swag these days is a sleeping bag, mattress and tent together that can be rolled out in the outback for easy setup and go. |

Re: OT Caroline Kennedy in shitbox rally
Station Wagon: A station wagon is basically a sedan with a longer roof and a tailgate to create more room for cargo or luggage. Wagons also often have longer wheelbases to add legroom in the back seat, which can be great for a family with older children.
Swag: a kind of combined sleeping bag and tent to accommodate one. As Updraught says, they were popular amongst those who wandered the country during hard times looking for work.

Still one of my favorite groups. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tR95WWZhB8 And you thought we Colonials had trouble with the King's English........ Pack up your swag (Aussie sleeping bag used for camping a lot without a tent) before you head to the doof, (rave party) and you can even bring a doonah (down comforter) if you’re keen (want to) for a bit more comfort. You’ll need an esky (Cooler) too to keep the beers cold. I don't know what they call tent camping - but a travel trailer is a Caravan. Last edited by ModelA29; 02-10-2024 at 07:45 PM. |

Re: OT Caroline Kennedy in shitbox rally
The Kennedys have always liked their Ford cars.
Here is the US Ambassador's father, the late, former president of the USA, John F. Kennedy (JFK)(center), hanging out with some friends and their Ford Model A Phaeton: Brad in Maryland, USA |

>>I don't know what they call tent camping - but a travel trailer is a Caravan.
Camping with a tent is, well, camping with a tent. We use a tent if there is a lot of sand like Fraser Island or Simpson Desert. A camper trailer is between a tent and a caravan. Our mid 90's camper trailer is basically a box with a tent on top and a good independent suspension. Like the top one here: http://www.robcaz.net/track_leaflet.JPG The company Track, has moved on to far more flash and expensive camper trailers: https://www.tracktrailer.com.au/ |

The camper trailer we drag around the country behind our Model A. Small and light but it's only somewhere to sleep before he next adventure (next day). https://www.google.com/search?q=imag...hrome&ie=UTF-8

I'm doing the research and parts gathering to build one of these to tow behind the A. I was born in Saginaw where they were made. |

Don't forget Dave Gerold's homemade camper that he towed to Alaska and back.

Re: OT Caroline Kennedy in shitbox rally
The bedding goes on the floor in the center of the trailer and the bed frames are hinged at the trailer sides. the tent frame is wood with the canvas draped over it.
