These wonderful horses were earning their keep hauling a stage coach for tourists in the Old Port area of Echuca. Until the advent of the railways, stage coaches played an important role in transportation in Austalia. Cobb & Co was established in 1853 by 4 Americans. By 1870, Cobb & Co. coach routes criss crossed Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. Every week they travelled 28,000 miles and every day drivers harnessed up 6,000 horses.

Clydesdales are beauties Frank - we see them a lot as they are associated with a very popular American beer. Excellent shot.

A good capture of the Clydesdales, Frank. Nice lighting in the scene and great colours and details in the photo. A friend of mine has a team of them that he uses for wagon rides.
