A trailer reversing apparatus for use with a trailer comprises a frame with a supporting axle upon which is mounted a pair of wheels. The frame includes a generally triangular draw bar at a bow end thereof and has a hitch attachment aperture at an apex of the draw bar. The trailer apparatus comprises an elongate beam adapted for disposal along a longitudinal centreline axis of the trailer frame and extending from the hitch attachment aperture towards a stern of the trailer frame. The hitch attachment aperture defines a front pivot axis. The elongate beam has a reverse mode aperture defining a rear pivot axis disposed towards a stern end thereof so as to be positioned rearwardly of the supporting axle in use. The trailer apparatus further comprises a locking mechanism that is selectively lockable in at least a forward travel configuration and a reverse travel configuration. The locking mechanism is adapted to allow pivotable movement of the elongate beam about the front pivot axis when in the first forward travel configuration thereof and to prevent pivotable movement of the elongate beam about the hitch attachment aperture when in a reverse travel configuration thereof so as to allow pivotable movement of the elongate beam about the rear pivot axis. 9+ \4-G 4-0 r6 42.. 4J+ -Ficg. 2..
