ABOUT BUSHMASTER
Hello, I am TERRY RYAN, I was born in Murwillumbah on the Tweed River, northern NSW. My parents had a dairy farm out in the hills near a little village called “UKI” at the foot of MT WARNING. After high school I studied engineering, then cabinet making and wood carving.
Soon my desire to travel around Australia kicked in and in my little home made caravan and my 1965 Valiant I took to the road. it was the first time i saw a shell tanker with three trailers “a road train.” my God the rocks were flying up from his wheels and the dust. We just had to stop and let the dust settle.
WELL the road across the Nullabor Plain was pretty crude particularly the South Australian side, bare earth, not even gravel. MY FIRST CARAVAN MADE IT ACROSS THE NULLABOR EARLY 1970 S WHEN THE NULLABOR WAS THE TOUGHEST THING A CARAVAN COULD DO. MOST PEOPLE I KNEW THOUGHT THAT I WAS CRAZY. ha ha great song.
The Western Australia side was corrugated gravel and then up to Darwin was mostly dirt roads again and then across the top to Cairns, we saw black top (tar road)
some of the time. there were no 4wds towing caravans at that time. so we hooked up our caravans to our holden, falcon, or our Valiant. We kept our tyre pressures low and never broke a thing. The day i took this picture the temp was 48 deg c .We had just crossed the SA / WA border.
1980 I built my own suspension under a trailer to take camping and to carry my musical instruments to gigs around the country. It has two sets of coil springs on each wheel and two sets of shockers on each wheel. I still have the trailer at my factory and I use it every week (at least) and it has done countless miles and it is still all in tact.
I called the suspension ROLLING THUNDER, it sounded like a good name for a bass player’s trailer. This suspension has been upgraded and is still available on our Wild Wheels model.
LIFE WENT ON and I found myself selling caravans in Brisbane southside but the urge to work for myself took over. I started building off-road camper trailers and moved it to Bundaberg. The business grew and grew, soon KOALA off road campers led to building BUSHMASTER OFF-ROAD CARAVANS.
In 2005 I was off to the big smoke of the caravan industry “Campbellfield” in Melbourne, Victoria where you can still find me in the workshop, building someones pride and joy.
THE GREATEST JOY apart from making a living with my own ideas and my own hands, is opening my phone to a happy voice telling me where they have traveled to and how much they love their Bushmaster.
I count my customers as great friends, Priceless Friends who keep sending new customers to my door. I am forever thankful for the good luck I have had in my life. I answer every Phone Call myself, and Road Test every caravan myself.
