Hi Geoff & Jude

Thanks for organising the run to Kendalls Beach Kiama
Gay & myself enjoyed our 3 days in the company of some vintage vanners we had met at Mount Gambier and some others we had not met before

On the way home Gay asked if the run was going to be on again next year "she wants to go again "

Having the caravan park right on the beach made it ................and Kiama is a nice part of Australia
f/f ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi to all who attended the Kendalls Beach run in September,

Jennison has asked me to post the following email he has received:

Hi [Jennison],

When your club was at Kendells Beach in September I was talking to someone
who had a Propert caravan there. It was in the center section close to the
Ameneties block ( green fold - up from memory.)

He mentioned that he knew of the wearabouts of a Propert decendant who had
information on the family buisness.

Do you know who that might be? I am working with other members of the Model
T Ford clubs to try and sort out the history of the Australian bodied cars
and I would like to see if I can find out if the Propert relative has any
useful information.

If you can pass this on to them or let me know who can help me it would be
much appreciated.

Regards
Peter K...

I presume the Propert referred to was Trodler's? Am I correct? If so, Jennison can advise Peter K and let him follow up from there.

[Jennison]

Crikey DonR you are right. It was too. Sorry to have bothered you I will let Richard know

Hi Jennison
If there are descendants of the Propert family who can share any additional information, it would be great to also have this on this site. I do know that the previous owner of Rubik's Kube, Werner Ebert tried very hard to get more stuff from that family when he was alive, but without success.

I have heard rumours that the plans and blueprints of this van and other Propert inventions are owned by some people who have a museum in NSW and they are planning to open a museum that will feature these things, in Tamworth.

They seem to have been a very inventive family
