Description
These beautiful big horses were the backbone of Australia as they ploughed, harrowed, and harvested the crops that helped feed our young nation. They were quite often the only mode of transport for the families and carted the food and water, building supplies etc. to the vast outback homesteads.

A great image, Linda! Congrats on your well-deserved feature. So realistic!
Linda Lees replied:
Thank you Bette! I'm not sure what you mean by "realisitic". These are real horses, pulling a real wagon, driven by a real man and photographed on a farm in rural Victoria.
