This is the hand pulled wooden Lachlan Park Fire Brigade cart built on a metal spring trailer type chassis, with red painted exterior and cream painted interior . ‘Lachlan Park Brigade’ is written in red and black (just discernible) on both sides. The wheels and rear drop flap are missing. Manual fire carts were used at the hospital from the early days, but were constantly criticised for being too small and lacking power. This fire cart was used by the Lachlan Park Brigade. Willow Court was named Lachlan Park Hospital from 1937 to 1968.
One of the things that could be on display when Willow Court is opened.
