Summary

Seventeen riders wearing masks and costumes with their horses at the Bordertown Showground. Some are carrying brooms over their shoulders, and eight young boys stand in formation in front and appear to be pulling a carriage in which is sitting a soldier wearing a bearskin cap. The comic troop may have been in a parade at the Bordertown Show. The name of the troop is presumably from 'Wampoony', in the Hundred of Wirrega, in the Bordertown district.
