+Well, about this perambulator trip. It was something different; believe me. I've got a backache yet. First I roused the district. There is nothing like publicity; sometimes it produces results.

That pram could do everything but eat and propel itself. It even had nice, red tassels around it, but I found a pair of scissors later and gave it a jazz cut.

 Assisted by Milo (he insisted) I fitted two canvas boxes at the sides, slung from little hardwood booms fitted across the pram. Another box was fitted to the front (or back; who knows which end Of a pram is the front?), new Washers were added to the axles to reduce the vA,Ible, and some other removable improvements were made. Then blimey there stood the Kanangra Limited (speed and springs) Expressp nearly as wide as a sullgj replete with awning, stays, billycan box, side tucker and gear boxes, foot rest for the passenger, rifle carrier and new tyres, No other nipper ever had a go-cart like this one Dismantled, packed and legA4Oped so that it couldn't do any tricks it weighed 62 pounds, which included a
