PART THREE � Arrival in Australia
I was surprised just how quickly the Loyd Motor Sickle arrived in Australia.
There was a clear use for this gadget in the colonies, and Great Britain was
under the inducement to �export or perish�, given the need to rebuild that
country after that devastating war.

Advertisements started appearing in late 1949! The earliest I have found
comes from regional Queensland � Nambour � from late November. The ad
suggests arrival is imminent and there is a captive, potential buyer �
pineapple farmers! The small size of the Loyd was its advantage � for
orchardists � that needed to maintain the small gaps between plants.

The Loyd was certainly displayed at the Sydney Royal Easter Show in 1950.
The NSW agency appears to have belonged to the giant Moffat-Virtue company.

And of course, Victoria followed suit:-
