    What a great adventure, reminded me of my stationhand days ,The old gear was like we used in the early 70s, The Bedford van 1950s, Dad used one as a mechanic service vehicle for the company he worked for, The dozer is a Fiat, about 40 - 60 HP, The Landrover front end looked odd , maybe a repaired one with a jeep Front end , someone may know???? DI think the semi was a Ford D ??? , And a Ford ute 1950s , Hope my memory is working ???, Still very interesting, Enjoyed, Cheers Bevan 🤠❤️🇦🇺, Got my licence in a series 2 Landrover

      Cheers mate! 🍻🍻 from what I’ve read the land rovers were built in Sydney by “Pressed Metal Corp” under licence which may be why the front end was a bit different but can’t really find any more info on them or the company, great knowledge you’ve got of them and would’ve been great to see the old Bedford van running and the fiat dozer working aswell!

      Also looks like the semi is a Toyota DA115, picked up by Colin Shepard

    A mate of mine had one of those Bedfords with a land rover chaise and running gear under it
    It was set up as a camper
    Those sliding doors were great for rabbit shooting on the back roads
