"The Old Bullocky"

Bullock teams were used extensively for transport in Australia's early days. They were particularly useful in the timber industry.

Today there are only a few teams still working. The bullocky has to know the characteristics of his animals - how to team them for the best effect - and to treat them with kindness. The whip is cracked above their backs - not on their backs.
