Australia 2007 : Caravanning through the Years FDC



Caravans first appeared in Australia during the 1920s, but the real craze for the "home-away-from-home" holiday struck in the 1950s, when greater prosperity, better roads and wider access to cars enabled this leisure pursuit. Caravans offered holidaymakers a sense of freedom and unshackled them from the constraints of railway schedules and destinations. This stamp issue celebrates the great Australian holiday, with a rearview-mirror look at caravanning from the 1950s to today's mobile generation of grey nomads.
