Great photo Gary, a lot of the RV ideas of today came from yesteryear or versions of them... smile

You're not far off the mark, Garry... PJ's almost old enough to be an heirloom. And I agree Vic, those upper fold-outs look remarkably like the front and rear ends of a pop-up camper. The folding chair looks kinda familiar too.

Are those WW1 gaiters and jodhpurs?

Amazing how boys always look the same when photos are taken - resigned.

I remember some great ole pictures of camping at Ayers Rock at a place called Stuarts Well (With Dinky the Singing dingo @ Jim's Place )... people staying in tents and riding in buses with open windows for air conditioning..

we have become so soft these days..

fantastic story's and pictures at Jims Place... if you've never been there I highly recommend you drop in for a night or two..
