The picture has some Australian spirit, although the dogs look rather British. Is the car Australian?

Ohlmeyer Jigger 1904

And so named because of the suspension (or lack thereof)

A great story has just been published in relations to the Jigger by Jon Chittleborough , former Director of the National Motor Museum.
I don't want to link it, but you can find it easily
Picture: Ernst Ohlmeyer, seated in the Jigger built by his father, with Premier John Olsen, 1998.
