Thank you for your comment. I think he was one of those men who like to keep busy all the time. Where would one find a man like that???

Thanks for your post. It certainly was a life of toil, but it sounds like he loved what he did.

What a great story and what a remarkable man, still busy at Mokanger in his eighties.

Thank you for your comment Alex. The article about the Scots was an interesting read.

If only you could turn back the clock and take some photos of that restored Cobb and Co coach!

Thank you Judy, I’m glad you liked it. I enjoyed your post also and having worked with horses, it’s hard work. My dad owned a restored Cobb & Co coach years ago and I don’t think we have any photos which is a shame. Despite the toil, William must have loved horses.

Now there you go – I didn’t know that Advance Australia Fair was penned by a Scot…thanks for your lovely insights into what makes a Scot Merron!
