Screen shot of this huge Chesney caravan used in the film Buddies made in Emerald Queensland 1983 release (now available on dvd) about two aussie blokes( Colin Friels, Harold Hopkins ) working a derelict camp and sapphire mining plot and their journey to success, The caravan arrives in the first quarter of the fim when a wealthy family lost on holiday arrive at the camp ,intrigued, and they decide to stay a few weeks and explore the mines/area.Because the characters (Norman Kaye, Dinah Shearing) are wealthy and from the city the caravan had to be special , Sheraton's were usually huge and probably the poshist van going in the day, all the same , Hard to believe that tri axel caravans were used for road travel for occasional holidays. In the film it is towed by a gutsy v8 jeep Cherokee but with basic shepherd's hook style WDH/ sway bars. something you probably wouldn't see today on a van that size. Great watch for Chesney fans, Queenslanders, jeep enthusiasts , miners, and all Aussies who miss the old days.Stars Kris McQuade, Colin Friels, Harold Hopkins Norman Kaye, Dinah Shearing, Bruce Spence "]
