Lunch in the bush, near Warwick, Queensland, ca.1893.
A man and woman stopping for a meal and a billy of tea. The horses have been unhitched from the double buggy. The double buggy was advertised as 'a must for squatters' as it was admirably adapted to travelling over huge logs and rutted ground. Travel in Australia during the late 1800s would have been very difficult.

Fantastic selection of photo's.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the Lunch in the Bush.
Good composition and really tells a story.
