History and use
This buggy was built at Forest Hill in southern Queensland. It was used by a farmer from the district. The buggy has a 'turn-out' seat. at the rear. When closed the rear of the buggy could be used for small items of luggage, but when 'turned-out' could seat two children. Two horses would have been harnessed to the pole when the buggy was in use.
