Hi Choc's,
I do think you're right. But they've been around for quite a while. I remember they used to cart for the brewery and used to deliver kegs over the road to the 'Kooringal' Golf Club in Altona. I was only a kid so it would have been at least 45 years ago. Back then it was a single drive Bedford with a single axle trailer. But it's good to see they're still around. Little Cab. :)

They sure have been around a good while..

Saw one the other day as a matter of fact, it was in Geelong..
Not really sure how many trucks they have, seems they have been loyal Bedford / Isuzu buyers though.
Good to see an old 'smaller' company survivng..

Like the Wards pick Jimbo, hasn't even burnt the lime green paint off the exhaust manifolds on the 8V71 yet.
They had a Louisville later on as well, VT 903 I think.
