Hi everyone,
It has been a while since I have visited this site again but I just have to share this story with you. Quite a while ago I purchased an old caravan, a Fiesta Mildura. I posted some pictures up on the forum asking if any body knows any information about that make of van. I did get some great information. Thanks
Since then I have been holidaying in Hester, dragging him all over Victoria. But just this weekend past on my way back from Ballarat I was driving down the freeway doing only 80km/h because I thought I was going to get blown off the road. A lady pulls up beside me waving her arms and tooting her horn telling me to pull over. I pulled over thinking that there was something wrong with hester, she runs up to my car (she looked to be in quite a state of excitment) She tells me that her Father made my caravan. She was so happy to see one on the road still she called her mum who wasnt far from where we were and she came out to have a look at the van too. I showed them through Hester and they said he looks just like it did when it was new. They told me the fiesta brand, made by her husband, were made in Mildura in the 60's. My van was most likely made in 1964. Both ladys were very nice and now I can get all the info on the Fiesta caravans straight from the Lady who actually made the curtains for the original vans. 
Its just amazing who you can come accross on any given day.
