You might have to be an Aussie to really appreciate the magnitude of this history. It amazing what one person's conviction to a vehicle can do. Porsche has a similar history in Australia through Norman Hamilton. Thiess still exists as a construction contractor today as does the Snowy Mountains Engineering Company (SMEC). Great info loved the lot.

In trying to get more info on my Cruisers I found this Gem. There are three 10 minute clips to follow. Some excellent old footage of Early Cruisers in Australia.
