July 1940 in Brisbane alone there were six different organisations providing women with war-related training, the largest of which was the Queensland-based Women's National Emergency Legion. The federal government and military did not initially support women being trained to serve in the armed forces, however, and these organisations were not taken seriously by the general public. Many of these women were trained to undertake skilled work in traditionally male occupations in order to free servicemen for operational service. Women were also encouraged to work in industry and volunteer for air raid precautions duties or clubs for Australian and Allied servicemen. The female branches of the military were disbanded after the war. Source: www.wikiwand.com/en/Australian_women_during_World_War_II

No brake cables - they're all rod-actuated.

From a Google Book source..."Post-Famine Ireland: Social Structure: Ireland As It Really Was" "John O Neill's bicycle factory in Dublin was started in 1894 originally assembling the bicycles but not manufacturing all the parts ( Weekly Irish Times April 5th 1913)" I don't have access to the newpaper archives to look that up!

This caravan is so retro, it almost looks contemporary, given the popularity of all things vintage. Share you caravan holiday stories here.

State Library of Queensland Oh, people would kill for this caravan today! I love the enamel pail on the left, and the woman's dress (and nice smile!). And is that an address on the far left of the caravan?!
State Library of Queensland said:
grytlappar It's pretty neat isn't it? The lettering on the far left says '54 Chesney Caravan Coy.' Neil Chesney set up a small caravan factory in Brisbane in the 1950s. At its peak, Lawnton-based Chesney was Australia’s third-largest caravan manufacturer, employing 400 people and making up to a hundred caravans each week.
