I haven't heard them called that before, it must be an Aussie term.

Trolleys they're mostly known as in NZ, trolley derby etc. Ours made by dad and or by brother from recycled wood, boxes, wheels and a length of rope to steer the front wheels on axle. Probably could have done with a mountain goat to cart them back up the metal road or back paddock, using the modern acronym GOAT ... greatest of all time  :D

A lot of outdoor play and homemade stuff ...

Go-Karts (sic) here suggest something small for young drivers (usually) with an engine of sorts!   ;D

I love the way names mean different things in different countries!   ;D ;D
