soap box


South Australian term for billy cart. When I was in primary school in SA in the 1950s, we always called it a soap box.. I didn't hear the term "billy cart" until I read "Ginger Meggs" comic strips: The kids have soap box races on Kelly's Hill after school. Compare billy cart, go-cart, hill trolley.
