Found this article about the Australia Motorlife Museum at Darkes Rd Kembla Grange.
They have about 50 vehicles on display , from a 1908 Schacht Motor Buggy to 2 vintage caravans.
One is a Propert Folding caravan and the other is a 1956 Swallow.

I have visited the Motor Life Museum and had a look at the great display of cars, I have also been talking to the Director of the Museum about displaying my caravans and related material to start Australias first Caravan Museum.

The Propert caravan is a 1966 Fastback Model and is in very good condition although it has had a few modifications like a extension on the drawbar and the glass windows replaced with mid 70's frosted perspex. It is a 2 owner van and has travel around Australia twice.

The 12 foot Caravan was purchased New in 1955 to travel to the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games .
The interior is in original condition, and it has a single bed/seat at the front and a dining table that folds down to a double bed at the rear.
