I'm trying to find a source for some square folding camp tables, like this one:
http://www.lifetime.com/tableschairs/round-and-square/square-fold-in-half-tables (http://www.lifetime.com/tableschairs/round-and-square/square-fold-in-half-tables)
It's on a US site and I've never seen one locally?
My size constraint is I need a table that will fold up to 50-55cm on its longest side, so I can store it vertically in the trailer tub (or in the walkway). Since putting the big drawer in I've had to balance my current 6ft folding table on top of stuff and its not optimal.
Smallest folding table I've seen is 4ft, which still folds up to 60cm. That square table when folded is about 50cm.

We store ours on the bed. It's one of these (http://www.downundercamping.com.au/product.php?productid=17363&cat=261&page=2). A smidge bigger than what you are after, but if you shop around you can get them with a smaller length.

It may be smaller than what you are after, but have you considered the folding tables that have aluminium slats on top and fold up into a bag the same size as a camp chair, they are a 70cm x 70cm table top when assembled. We have 1 that we carry in with our camp chairs, it's great for a quick roadside stop and is perfect for the stove/cooking etc when camping as you don't have to worry about it melting.
Ours looks like this

Otherwise Officeworks have the Lifetime brand plastic folding tables that you are after, I don't know if they can order in 1 specific size table though, I think they might just bulk import and I haven't seen the size you are after in our local store. Probably worth a check though.

Check out this thread as I think there is one in there that fols up to around 450mm.

Ahah! That Bunnings one is perfect! Now to find a Bunnings with it in stock.
We used to store a big 6ft on the bed but sometimes its good to be able to setup the table first (i.e. arrive at site and have breakfast before setting up) so trying to get away from that.
The slat style ones are okay for limited use but as a camp table can be a bit exciting.
