  • Australias first fridge.

    This cooler was one of Australias first cabinet coolers.

    Can be used with coal out of a fire , line the inner wall
    with coals , wet them down , and sit your cooler in the
    breeze.

      Camping coolers use the same method today, with a water absorbent material on the outside covered with perforated aluminum and plastic inside,

      Good for keeping your beer cool Bruce.

    Looks like you can get smooth bore, but also smooth bore exturnally convoluted to help with hose kinks.

    Tycho,
    Out of interest can you roll these up easily to fit in service vehicle?
    Thought they may be at risk of kinking.

    We used to use hydraulic hoses, but they were heavy and would leak over time to form blisters on the outer skin.
    That's when we learned we could
