Hi

I found some nice pics in the NLA library ,of Australian motoring history .

This scene depicts a petrol station in the Northern Territory circa 1948. The Jeep is one of over 15,000 jeeps Australia received as Lend Lease during WW2. The trailer is an Australian jeep trailer made by Holden and Ford. Note the spare Leaf springs and hand winch on the front of the jeep.

These are Karrier trucks , these were popular with local councils around Melbourne but they disappeared from the streets in the 1970s. Jubbly was a brand of orange juice

It's funny seeing that photo of yours of the "Oldsmobile" truck! I know a family that own a lighter version say about half to three quarter tonner of those. Unfortunately, it's not in very good order and because of family connections they refuse point blank to sell it. Hot rodders have been after it for over 20 years, and I know at least two truck enthusiasts have tried to prize it from their grasp, but they "still have it.

I love all the other photos as well, brings back a lot of memories from "oh" so long ago!!
Thankyou!

During the late '60s my parents had a general store on a housing estate, the local kids and my own loved these.

They weren't frozen from the wholesalers but only about 10% of them were ever sold for liquid use or home freezing.
The TV jingle used the words "Lubbly Jubbly".

Was that the Oz system as well,
or did you get it in bottles?

If you have the rights for the Dennis photo or if it is open sourced, the Dennis Society would, I am sure, appreciate an "in use" photo from the Antipodes. I wonder if that is a local body on a Dennis chassis or if that body was also Guildford built.

May I post the picture on a Guildford Past and Present FB page?

Re: the Jubbly orange frozen things, I had not heard of them being in Australia ,it must have been a short lived venture, before my time We did have similar frozen shaped treats called 'Sunny Boy'
