Old Albion in OZ with what looks like a tucker bag.
Oily
That’s a canvas water bag. As the water seeps through the material, it evaporates, cooling the contents. Crude refrigeration.

■■■■, beat me to it. Must be the time difference. 
We always had at least 2, one or 2 on the front bars and one on the floor of the cab, repeatedly re-cycled and topped up from large tanks under the trailers.
I like those pictures but can someone explain the purpose of the connectors on the bogies?

I seem to think that the pair of wheels on each side were pivoted to a central dry axle, and the chains drove the
forward pair of wheels. 
Cheers, Ray.

I presume that you had the canvas water bags with the cork stoppers and not the aluminum screw caps, Gunga Din. 
Memory doesn’t recall about the caps, but I think screw. The reason I think that is because my old mate George, he of the 100 mile ritual (pills, Beenleigh, water), used to do that while driving, so right hand on the wheel, reach down to open the bottle on the floor, uncscrew the Beenleigh which was jammed between the seats, reach across to the glove box, grab a handfull of pills, down them, swig of Beenleigh, swig of water then re-cap both bottles, slam glove door shut, continue.
So, as it might have been a skill too far with one hand and a cork stopper, my money is on screw.

Thanks Buzzer, I have no idea why some of my photos turn out sideways on here and when you click on them, they correct themselves.

Hi MRM I find that if you modify the size slightly they come out the right size, cheers Buzzer

Thanks again Buzzer, I think that you have sorted out my problem.
Crop Test.

It looks like a Hendrickson walking beam suspension, but instead of the walking beams being under the chassis rails, they’re mounted outboard.

Thanks to you and Ray, I think I see it now, there is a single axle between those bogies and the wheels oscillate around it?
