I've seen a few of these around and they look good. I believe the tray/chassis is made overseas and the axle etc is fitted here,

I visited him yesterday. His gal trailers are all Chinese imports and he talked them down. He wanted to sell his enamel ones (which I dont want)

I've always been impressed with the quality of trailers at Blackburn Trailers.

I don't know how their prices compare, but been very happy with mine.

I got mine from Australian Trailers  (australiantrailers.com.au) in Mordialloc, been very happy with it.  Could be worth a try.

Regarding Australian trailers - I would run away screaming. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I recently had a horrible experience with them.

I ordered an aluminium trailer from them and was told two week delivery. Two months later, after weekly threats and shouting matches and lots of frustration, my trailer arrived. The dimensions were completely wrong and when I inspected the final product, I was appalled at the quality. (Rough edges, sharp edges, untightened bolts, etc.)

Fortunately, I got my deposit back, but I wanted two months - for SFA.

As I said - I would run away screaming...
