Summary

Horsedrawn dray carting wheat bags from the Wheat stack at Pinnaroo. Pinnaroo is situated near the Victorian border and derives its name from the Aboriginal word for "big man". It was first settled in 1869. The railway arrived in the area shortly before this photograph was taken. Wheat growing was the main farming endeavour followed by sheep and later barley crops. This photograph shows the covered stacks of wheat in sacks which stand at least 25 sacks high. Eight horses are harnessed ready to pull a cart loaded with sacks of wheat
