CW,

 

Thought it was one that I had come across before, but on finding the photo, it is a different one, but also from Australia.

 

This one was prepared by members of the Royal Australian Navy to take part in the 1992 Variety Club Redex Bash ( we were out there with the REME entry, long story might tell it one day ). It was built on a Maple Leaf Chev truck chassis. I had a look inside it and the "cockpit" was not at all impressive, from memory, the dash was a bit of board to the right of the steering wheel, with just the normal basic guages. As our route took us over some very rough territory, from Sydney, through the Outback to Alice Springs then Ayers Rock, I am not surprised that they were last home every night :-D

It's a bit difficult working out where it stops and the background starts. Is the Pagoda attached? and what about those blokes on the cherry picker, is that the observation lounge?

 

Looks like it came from the film The Big Bus.

 

"We're breaking wind at ninety". :-D

Did not notice that, not the best of photos I suppose. The pagoda is part of the Chinese Gardens, in Darling Harbour, Sydney, where the event started. If that is a cherry picker, it might be attached to the truck on the left :-D
