Coaches, Carriages & Carts covers the first hundred years of Australia’s initial land transport conveyances. It is a wonderful history of a period, which sadly has been overlooked with our current forms of landtransport. All kinds of wheeled vehicles - Hansom cabs, Charabancs, Horse-trams, Wagonettes and Jingles - moved the masses to work six days a week and on weekends, took them to picnics and sightseeing. Little visual or written evidence remains of this period in Australia’s history, and very few representative collections of vehicles have been developed to inform and educate. This book will in some way overcome this lack of exposure to the days of horse, carriage and cart, allowing our current generation a unique insight into an enthralling period in our transport history.
