A buckboard buggy
A buckboard buggy, probably at Bungaree Station, near Clare. The driver has a small dog sitting beside him and there is another underneath the buggy in the shade. The pattern of the fence and gate and the terriers are similar to those in photograph B 43088 which is identified as Bungaree. (Sweet Adelaide 674). A researcher has suggested that this buggy could be a Stump Jumping Buckboard as the dates, the colony and the vehicle style all point to it. The researcher has provided the following information: Stump-jumping Buggy [1880s] - a specialised form of Bush Buggy [q.v.] with buckboard-like extended bodywork and a single seat for the driver to handle extremely rough bush driving conditions. Two versions, designed and built by Adelaide coachbuilders Duncan & Fraser, were displayed at the 1884 South Australian Chamber of Manufacturer's Grand Exhibition, including one with double-spring slat bodywork. It was noted of this exhibit that "strange as their construction appears ...they are capital things for rough country, the springy way in which they clear all obstacles being remarkable" (South Australian Weekly Chronicle 24 May 1884, p.22).
