I had this old thing sitting out the back for many years and I thought i'd drag it out and get some photo's of it.
G'day
Converse and
speedyFor a minute there, I thought you were speaking of me...
Converse, many thanks for the great images on the
Model H.
I'm not sure were to begin here ...
Qualcast looked on Australia as its most important export market,
and Qualcast developed models for Australian conditions.
The models from this period were the
Model K and
Model H.
The Model H would prove to be Qualcast's most successful
pushiefrom the interwar years.
The Model K was advertised as the first British-made Qualcast made
for AUS (c1928), and the Model H quickly followed. The Model H would become the
star AUS-made Qualcast from late 1930.
The thing is, these models
predate the start of Qualcast Australia, but
were key models made here when the factory opened ...

LOL! I was like "haha yeah mate".
That's a great anecdote!
Folks nowadays, do not appreciate the struggle ...

such a revolution! Using a pushie required commitment - and frequent mowing!
This did not seem to suit our lifestyle at all.

Jackp.s. the gallery shows the newsprint lead-up to Qualcast AUS.
The first Model Ks and Model Hs were British-built.
The vast majority would be AUS-built.
The Model H was the Victa of the day.
