Early colour television OB van at Monash University Australia

G'day all.

I have stumbled upon another discovery of early colour television used in Australia prior to its introduction in 1975.

Monash University in Victoria Australia had a mobile colour television unit van in the 60s and 70s which was supplied by Smith Kline & French. Here are the two pictures of this OB van:

Behind the TV techos in the 2nd pic is 3 roundie colour monitors!!! I believe the colour cameras that were used in this outfit would likely be RCA TK-41s or Marconi BD848s.

I have emailed Monash Uni enquiring about this mobile unit as I am interested in knowing more about it. Will be interesting to hear more details on this unit.
