Summer Skys Trading
Don't know a great deal about this company or even if they are still trading.
Back in 2001 I was walking though my local shopping centre and there was a stall in the mall selling little Putt Putt boats.
They looked entertaining and at an asking price of around $8 how could I refuse?
It turns out these little numbers were made in Bunbury Western Australia.
I think they were made in several colours but I chose the red one.
As they putt along the guns bounce up and down as if they are firing.
Has to be the cheapest and best value Australian steam toy I own.

NOTE: I have recently seen similar Putt Putt boats as have other people very similar to this that are made in Indonesia so it is possible these were made in Indonesia and just repackaged in Australia, I guess time will tell.
