This image shows a stockman stopping for a drink from his canvas water bag with a team of draft horses in the background ??? By the late 19th century roads were improving across Australia and horse teams were replacing bullock teams as the main means of heavy haulage.

This image is believed to have been taken by George Bell who was the earliest of Kerry's field photographers. In 1890 he was sent to photograph a carefully mapped route in the interior of New South Wales. It was the start of many similar journeys Bell undertook until he left the firm in 1900 to take up a position as photo-journalist at the Sydney Mail newspaper.

This photographic negative was published by the Sydney firm Charles Kerry & Co. and is part of the Powerhouse Museum's Tyrrell collection which contains over 2,900 glass plate negatives by Kerry & Co.
