Australian War Memorial

Australian Capital Territory, Tourism

Address: Treloar Cres, Campbell ACT 2612

The Australian War Memorial combines a shrine, a world-class museum, and an extensive archive. The Memorial’s purpose is to commemorate the sacrifice of those Australians who have died in war. Its mission is to assist Australians to remember, interpret and understand the Australian experience of war and its enduring impact on Australian society.

In the aftermath of the battle of Poziéres in 1916, the Australian official war historian Charles Bean began to develop plans for a national memorial to commemorate the sacrifices made by his fellow Australians. In line with Bean’s vision, the Memorial today maintains the Roll of Honour and conducts both local and national commemorative ceremonies, including on Australia’s two major days of remembrance.

The Memorial is open daily from 10am to 5pm, including the Shop, except for Christmas Day. It is open all long weekends, including Easter.

Bolwell RV

Victoria, Tasmania, Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory, RV/Caravan Manufacturer, Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia

Address: 37 Wells Road Mordialloc, Victoria 3195

About Us

The Bolwell Corporation has an enviable reputation for the creative application of composite materials – from sports cars to trucks and many products in between. And it was our unique combination of heritage, expertise, innovation, and application that led to the design and manufacture of cutting-edge caravans under the Bolwell RV banner.

In 2008 they began designing caravans that were to be superior to those currently available to the touring public. So they built two: The Bolwell EDGE and AIR.

[nemus_slider id=”411″]

In 2010 Bolwell RV was established as a dedicated caravan business, and in 2011 the award-winning Bolwell EDGE received the first of many design and innovation awards. The body of the EDGE, our tough luxury tourer, is bonded – making it extremely strong and waterproof, unlike any other caravan on the market. Even the pivoting roof is a single water-tight structure. ‘Lightweight’ and ‘aerodynamic’ are not words usually associated with caravans, but they do describe the Bolwell EDGE. The AIR is our compact, expandable camper offering anyone with a small SUV an affordable caravanning experience. The AIR and The EDGE share the same high-tech construction and innovative, lightweight design. Bolwell RV IS the cutting edge of caravan design and manufacture,

Address:

Only a genuine Aussie Fold Away TV Antenna gives superior digital TV reception and will stand up to the rugged conditions of the Australian outdoors in any Van, Camper, Tent, Motor home, Truck or any vehicle for that matter.

ABOUT US – Since 1989 we have developed antennas for Australia’s Harsh Weather conditions. We have built them to last through the savage summers and wet n’ wild winters and even the occasional “whoops” moment when you back the caravan over the top of it! But don’t worry if you manage to break it as we have all of the spare parts available.

The Fold Away Antenna is stronger than most, lightweight (1.5 -1.6kg), easy to use and the smart choice for your caravan, RV, motor home ,camper trailer etc.

After much testing, our Patented Design allows you to adjust the antenna through 360 degrees to pick up any signal polarization and digital signals. The Fold Away TV antenna works perfectly with your high definition digital TV or digital set top box.

DIGITAL TV? NO WORRIES! If you have a digital TV or set top box (for your old analog TV) to get those extra ABC and SBS channels, grab a Fold Away Antenna.

You get an antenna that can take the knocks of outdoor life on the wall of a van and deliver the pictures, no worries. Plus we have designed and built accessories which will give you that extra kick from a TV signal when you are on the edge of civilisation. These include a great 12 volt signal amplifier to turbocharge the reception, plus the awesome Direct Connector. We also have a Mast support bracket for Soft Walled Campers- they can be mounted on any solid surface such as a Draw Bar, Tool Box, Gerry can holder, Bull Bar etc.
