hi
interested in getting in touch with murrumba star c'van owners.
I was looking through archived threads and found thread id 43531 talking about a murrumba star c'van. We Hans and I have renovated a murrumba star c'van and are currently on a 6 month trip . Hans has turned it into a single axle off road van. we are keen to know more people with a murrumba star van. we believe these vans were first around in the sixties.

My recollection is that they were manufactured in a large factory at Lawnton which today is still there and is a Supercheap Autos warehouse. I went to school with the Owner's son. They were a great van in their day but tended to make mainly large vans. I think the fuel crisis of the early 1970's knocked them out when all of a sudden people shifted to smaller vans as they downsized their cars (virtually no 4x4's in those days). Murrumba is a local word (don't know what it means) but there is a suburb nearby called Murrumba Downs.
