Ok If the snowfield ones were post war imports then the ARN ones must have had a life doing something with the NSW Govt. tourist bureau... you would think it would be on the snow fields but that's a guess.
I remember finding that book at the op shop , with the pics of the snowfields weasel, it may have been scenes of Kiandra , not sure , I think Thredbo was a later village constructed in the 60's maybe.

As the Australian Antarctic Weasels have been mentioned I hope this info is acceptable. I share it as it provides some rare history on the vehicles and it is surprising just how many Weasels were used by a number of countries in the Antarctic.

The Govt. must have been buying Weasel spares for ANARE because I found a reference to " Weasel spares " in a early 1960s Govt. gazette. Can't find it again though
