Hi Kenny, I thought you must have finished with us! First one is a Franklin Freeway, Second looks like a Litecraft, Third is a Viscount Ambassador. Cheers hughdeany

I always check Google Maps Street view to see if the van is still at the same place today. Only once have I found this to occur. However in checking this one, I note the house has been 'lowered' not raised, usually they raise the houses! Checkit!

Hi Kenny, Happy New Year to you too. I’m guessing that the first two are Litecrafts and the third is a bondwood of some description, but that’s as close as I can get. Let’s see what Hughdeany thinks.

Here's an interesting one. Looks like its a Millard, but with corner front windows?? Hi Kenny, The sticker certainly looks like a Millard sticker, but I can’t think of any Millard models that had that style of corner windows. Carapark also used that style sticker, but I’m certain it’s not one of theirs. I can’t believe the difference in the then and now photos of the house. How would you go about chopping out the lower supports of the house to lower it? I’m sure it can be done, but the mind boggles a bit! An alternative explanation is that the ground level around the house has been raised and the section under the house is now a cellar! Don Ricardo

Hi Kenny and Don, Yes,I agree with Don re the 3 vans,although it’s hard to tell if the last one has a front stripe or a cut in ,if the cut in it could be a little WA Modern,but it would be aluminium. The Millard was a Princess,Five foot double hopper under the stoneguard,and small corner wrap arounds,I owned one years ago,if you want a pic I can send it by pm Don Ricardo. Cheers hughdeany

Many thanks, database updated. There are no other Millard Princesses on file until now! (Couldn't find any on Google Images either). Thanks again, more to come!

The number of caravan's I'm finding are slowing up, I wonder if its due to the certain suburbs not affording them ....? Anyway here are three more! Top? Middle? Bottom - Millard? Regards kenny

Haha many thanks, yes still lurking around.
Still trying to finish this project off!
Its heartening to find photos like this one, nice, crisp, clear in the front yard.
Looks like they were using it for a 2 abode with the power on?
Thanks again Hughdeany!

Hi Kenny, Don’t know if you are looking for a name still,but it’s a Roma/ Capricorn bondwood and aluminium,12.6. They were made in one factory in the sixties for a time and sold as both,but strangely enough only in this shape. Cheers hughdeany

Hi Kenny, Yes it’s a Franklin Arrow,about 1972 and22 ft. Always good to see vans with 2 doors,plenty around in the 60s and 70s but now seem to have gone out of favour.😥 Cheers hughdeany

Looking at the minimalistic gardens in the above images makes you realise how modern nurseries have changed the Australian landscape, for the better. Mustang

100% agree. The yards with gardens are so few, and far betweeen.
