- Summary:
-
"Teams of draft horses were still in use digging canals for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area scheme, like this one working on the Coleambally Canal. The teamsters were firm in their belief that bulldozers would not take over their work, because the horses' hooves compacted the dam banks as they worked, whereas bulldozers had a light tread and left the earth banks porous. A comforting theory that proved wrong." -- Description supplied by photographer.
