Folding Utilily Wagon (for scope)

Whilst out with our scopes last night on The Strand, a couple went by, towing a little red wagon, with a couple of little kids inside.

Similiar to this - collapsible/lightweight but metal reinforcements
http://www.amazon.com/Mac-Sports-Fol...724351-9087362

Have had a google in Australia for one but no luck.

Think would be great for carting my scope and accessories from my car to the viewing spots that require a few loads back and forth from car.

Anyone seen anything similiar??

Are you certain you want a fold up one Liz?
I have seen a rigid (metal) one at Bunnings over the weekend.
Food for thought.

Yes, actually thought I would check out Bunnings too. A fold up one would fit so much better in the car though, and still seem pretty strong.
