Ginger is a 1953 built Bondwood Caravan but she's had a hard life. Among other things, she was left to rot severeley until brought back to life by a retired boat builder. Purchased in 2011, she was given some new rewiring with the intent to caravan, but failing that was put up for sale in 2015. It was that same year, Katie fulfilled a dream of owning a vintage caravan and starting up a mobile bar/cafe. It was late on a Sunday night that Katie found the van and raced in to tell her sleeping husband. The next morning, they left for a road trip to Byron Bay to check this van out. The van was named before it was repainted in its signature 'Ginger'', a name that is reflected in both food and beverages, but was of the 50's era. And of course, Katie knew she was female! With just a few minor alterations; the desire to keep her original was strong, she was ready to roll (literally).
