National Carriage Collection

The National Carriage Collection features 47 vehicles of different types, each of which played a significant role in the development of Queensland. The collection was established by Toowoomba businessman and philanthropist WRF (Bill) Bolton. The Collection encompasses much of Queensland's social and economic history, with vehicles associated with wool and beef industries, squatting runs and small selections, and public transport in the horse era. The collection includes a city omnibus, regal carriages, workers' drays and water cart, Cobb & Co coaches, and wagons used by German settlers.
