Australia day post: Paddy Pallin lost and found.

Recently my brother found this Rambler pack in a Goulburn thrash and treasure store. Turns out the old Paddy Pallin pack is pretty much identical to one used by our mother in her many travels. Paddy Pallin is a bit of an Australian classic, and a hardworking migrant success story. I'd like to know what other packs are floating around like this by Australian manufacturers, possibly in catalogs or storerooms









Rambling: My mother hitchhiking in Crete, with a Paddy Pallin pack- with what appears to be a split back pocket.

cheers man, found an old karrimoor frame in some hard rubbish last week, but no bag- just tantilising.
