Behind

I took this a couple of weeks ago at the Heritage Festival
Bullock team are a very important part of Australian History. They were used for removing the tall timber from the bush back in the early days. Many teams hauled 1 tree at a time through dense forests.
The timber carrier " Jinker " is rare finds these days, but this one being used is well restored

If you google Bullock Teams Australia you will find a video showing this team at work.

Best viewed in original size

others taking part can be found at Scavenger Hunt

Cool shot for behind. Great idea.

Capable of carrying heavy loads behind. It took the most rugged (man and beast) to settle a land much more challenging than first imagined.
