A Murrumba Star "Lindastar" slide on camper that was recently for sale on eBay, with its very "space age" rear door/steps.

I found this late 1960's Murrumba Star which was recently on ebay, the van isnt that unusual but I was interested in the last photo which shows a Western Australia dealership plaque for Fleetwood Murrumba of Maddington. WA.

These photos go back a few years.
Found this Linda Star (Murrumba Star) neglected in a caravan park.
The owner was adamant that he was going to do it up.
Elderly gent with a heart condition.
Sadly he moved and we never met again.
Hope someone eventually did do it up.

Another great photo from facebook, this time from the Lost Caboolture page with a ute and a Lindastar towing a Ministar.

With the following text

Space age fibreglass caravans were rolling out of Murrumbah Star at Morayfield in the 1960's. On the ute is the Linda Star and hitched up behind, the Mini Star... like hen's teeth today...
