OK, here's one on a trip where I left the caravan (and the campervan) behind. Sometimes the old BMW is simply the best way to travel... Shouldn't be too hard to guess the location. Attachments:

Almost two weeks is enough to say we are stumped.
So where is it?
If there is no reply in a couple of days it's a free for all.
First in with a new photo wins.
;D ;D ;D

Finally some responses! It's in NSW, and there's an absolutely MAGIC caravan and camping spot within 10 minutes. We stayed there on the last trip we did with the 11' York (just yesterday picked up by its new and very thrilled owner after I sold it on eBay).
I thought this one would be easy!

Barrington Tops, between Gloucester and Walcha. Some stunning stuff through there, and the shortest way from Sydney to Armidale etc. OK, let's try a dead easy one...  Neil |

Yes, kiwijim, the Dolphin is extremely British in its design. The 'inverted boat hull' roof is the obvious one, but also other design cues.
Not that the Scots would ever think of themselves as Brits (!), but the Thomson sure has similar characteristics.
It's actually an extremely good roof profile. Not only does water not collect on an essentially flat roof, but boat hulls are shaped the way they are for one simple reason; stability and low drag in the water. At touring speeds the same characteristics come in handy when dealing with air resistance!
I have to admit to being a bit of a 'caravan spotter' when watching British movies or TV programmes set in the '50s, '60s and '70s. The roof profile is very distinct!
I'd have to bet that the fellow who made Dolphin caravans and/or campervans in Dandenong back in the 1970s was a Brit. Certainly the original owner, who commissioned the campervan back in 1973, was originally a Brit, who came out to Australia alone at age 17 to start a life as a jackeroo way back in the 1940s, and totally fell in love with Australia. The Dolphin was his retirement vehicle enabling him to explore the country he'd adopted and which he loved.
Cheers,
Neil
