Default Aussie trailer question

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can tell me what type this trailer is? Number 4? I think it would make an excellent model, but I'm stuck for detail. I have searched here, but can't find clear pictures of the rear suspension and brake set-up, does anyone have some? Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
Allan

I don't think this is precisely the same trailer (slight structural differences above the rear bogie), but this trailer was at Corowa a couple of years ago. I hope it shows enough detail of the rear bogie and turntable mounting for you.

Thanks very much Tony for those pictures. I had seen your earlier ones, but the shot from the rear is a big help with the fittings. The only thing I'm not sure about now is the "actuating rod" that comes out the back of the vacuum cylinder and goes to the linkage over the back axle. Does it flex with suspension movement, or does it go through a pivot of some kind?
Thanks again for your help.
Allan

I don't know anything about the trailer you're asking about but I do know that was my trailer it was sitting on.
