Furphy Water Cart and MMBW in Victoria was created by Gryphon
Hi,
on behalf of a friend I am looking for any information and or pictures about the Victorian MMBW using Furphy Water Carts.
He recently acquire a cart from Mickleham n Victoria and he has started cleaning it up and found identification on it that says it was used by the MMBW probably at the start of its life.
Any information appreciated.

An interesting storey behind the name of the Furphy water tank dates back to WW1 when troops gathered around the water cart and tell some stories hat would be exagerated somewhat. These became known as furphies. The same still happens at the water coolers at work now!
