    Looks like my link only works sometimes.
    Here's another to the manufacturer's web page.
    The D18SE is the model for sale here in NZ.

    Are there any available in Australia? Might be easier and cheaper
    to buy (or hire) one with a motorcycle in Australia.

    Yes, trailers are legal. They need the usual things trailers need -
    lights, safety chains, registration.

    A 2nd hand one costs around $A1000 and up if you can get one, I think
    they are A$1500+ new from Classic Trailers and Trek, you can get them
    cheaper but it's a lot of looking. I don't know of anyone who hires
    them.

    Thanks Zebee,
    Those new trailers for AUD 1500 + are good value.
    The used english built one available here is NZ$3000.
    Might look at the Classic & Trek if I can find a web site.

    Great web sites thanks Zebee, but I might just rethink the whole thing after
    looking at those prices. Might just as well go by plane & bus and stay in
    hotels.
    Probably cheaper. grinnn

    Thanks for the offer Clem, but we have decided to go by rental car
    and stay at pubs......much more comfortable and warm than in a tent
    or camper trailer. What's a fridge trailer? Is that for the BIG eskie?
    grinnn..

    whole truck!

    Might just forgo the trip to Ozz and buy a bike & trailer
    here instead. Colder but cheaper ... and I can ride the day I buy .
