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.
