Billy cart

Billy carts constructed by Cub Scouts and their fathers and carers at The Rooty Hill, NSW AustraliaIn Australia billy carts tend to conform, even in the 21st century, to a more traditional or rudimentary specification often being constructed informally by juveniles from found or inexpensive materials with minimal adult input and used without safety equipment. However even when construction of vehicles is more formally organised, such as for the annual Blacktown and District Cub Scout Billy Cart Derby at Rooty Hill, NSW Rooty Hill,NSW the vehicle is still constructed to a deliberately relatively unsophisticated design, although safety is a consideration.In Indonesia, billy carts are also known as 'gokar'. They are raced in different regions as a community social activity. The form of the cart is similar to the Australian one however the wheels are often motor cycle wheel bearings.
