Old style water bags????...still around???

Yes they are still around.

I donated a couple for raffle prizes at the Innamincka gathering this year.


Cheers Kev

Doesn't that bring back memories? I remember the Old Man always had one hanging off the front bumper. I also remember the water tasted bloody awful, strong canvas taint.

For about $30 you can get a little thermo cooler from Trickies that will give you chilled water that tastes like water. That would be my preferred option for a cheap way to get a cold drink.

Cheers,

Jim.

Yes, they certainly are around. Not sure where but search for canvas water bag or some such.
Lost my last one about 30 years ago between Oodnadatta and Dalhousie. It was tied onto the bull bar (like everything else) but far too full.

Hi All

You can pick them up from Aussie Disposals $31-00 each,
we allways had them years ago, the water tasted horrible, we even
soaked them for a couple of days before we used them, I remember
when we wer'nt travelling, they used to drain out over time and
flap in the breeze, now we keep chilled water in the Engel in the
Truck, how times change.

Ha ha! Now we have Engels with Evian!

Yes, times have changed, & not necessarily for the better.

AAHHH!!! The good old days!! Yes, I had a canvas bag attached to the bumper of my HK Monaro in the late seventies, thats all we had and we thought it was pretty good. With one of my old girlfriends, we did many a trip with a hired touring tent, living on takeaway food and cigarettes and staying in caravan parks with my first Jayco Dove. Yes, Oh to be young again!! Where is that girl now??? Michael.

In situations like yours, Google can be a great help. In less than 4 seconds I came up with lots of hits. Have a look at Canvas W/Bags

Camec / caravan acc sell them, they have dealers in most states 2 types cheapy & the good one with leather dog collar straps & leather backing skirt
