Gundagai – The Dog On The Tuckerbox

Gundagai - The Dog On The Tuckerbox

The dog on the tuckerbox at Gundagai. This commemorates the poems, or songs, about the bullock-drivers, bullockies, and the pioneers of inland Australia. It was the bullock drivers that transported goods along mud tracks in all weathers to the early settlers. The bronze dog is the work of Frank Rusconi, a local monumental mason.

Some random tourist block the view of the trains at the Thirlmere Railway Museum.

Behind us is 2029, a NSW Railways 2-6-4T Z-20 Class. In the background is 38 Class Pacific (4-6-2), 3820, an express passenger locomotive.

NSW BKD Prison Van

NSW BKD Prison Van

The long arm of the law finally caught up with me in Thirlmere. Here I am imprisoned in the NSW Government Railways BKD Prison Van. Four of these vans were built in 1915 and remained in service until 1975, transporting prisoners around the state.
