Overview

Very small black and white photo of a horse and cart, central to a dirt roadway.
The cart has two rubber-tired wheels. A lady is driving from within the cart. She is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, hat and sun-glasses. A horse and rider are travelling along behind the horse and cart and a utility motor vehicle is in the background. Tall trees and thick bush is on either side of the dirt road.
NB: The cart looks to be more a pony cart, than a horse cart. The cart is being pulled by a horse.

Historical information

Part of the Toodyay 150th Anniversary Pioneer Trek from Guildford to Toodyay, recreating the journey of early European pioneers.
