Road Wanderer Caravans
431 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn Vic
Advertisement for Road Wanderer Caravans published in the Melbourne Argus newspaper on Saturday, 25 May 1946 (p 29):

The adverts ran in the Argus on a weekly basis until Saturday, 7 December 1946, when this advert appeared on p 32 indicating that Road Wanderer produced 2, 3 and 4 berth caravans and the new '1946 De Luxe Model':

We do not know anything more about Road Wanderer caravans or what they looked like at this stage. However, it is interesting to note that Road Wanderer's address is 431 Whitehorse Road, Balwyn. This is quite close to 731 Whitehorse Road which was the advertised address for Greythorne Caravans in the early to mid-50's. I wonder if there is a link of some sort? (Both addresses are now right in the middle of the Balwyn strip shopping area.)
