times manufactured and sold bike under a number of different brand names.
Malvern Star was always their predominant and premier brand but they also
produced:
Austral
The Australs featured two "Map of Australia" cut outs brazed to
the head tube and similar on the fork crowns. They are known to
have been sold by the Marcus Clark department store in Sydney among other
outlets.
This 1932 example of an Austral is in the collection of the Canberra
Bicycle Museum.

At various times General Accessories sold bikes that were re-badged
models produced by or designed by other bicycle companies. In 1964 Malvern Star
acquired the Moulton franchise for Australia and actively promoted the
new concept in cycling that they represented. Later they marketed and sold
Raleigh Choppers and Philips Choppers.
