    Evandale Horse trough

     Bev and George have just spent 2 enjoyable weeks down in Tasmania, took our car over  on the Spirit of Tasmania  and did some touring .
    Missed all the drama here in Vicroria and please every thing was OK when we returned . Stanhope was not effected by the devastating fires. While we were there was on the look out for Bills Horse Troughs and did not sight any,does any one know of any BHTs in Tasmania and also South Auatralia ?
    Have not had any sighted in these two states.
     Adding a photo of the Horse trough which is in the Main Street of Evandale.
    Best Wishes to you all George.

    Scone Museum NSW

     This is a very special trough as it has been hand made by stone masons and I believe it would have  be made in about 1920. It is interesting to note that George Bills died in 1927 . Would like to learn more history about this trough,any one who can help contact George Gemmill  at billshorsetroughs@hotmail.com

    The marble plaque on the end says Annis and George Bills Australia.

    Scone is reputed to be the horse capital on Australia. There is many famous stud farms in the Area .The Museun is located in Kingdon Street

    Thanks Nancy for sending me these photos.

    Glenburn

    This trough has now found a loving home with a great view tending for the needs of thirsty cattle on a farm in Glenburn Victoria.

    This Bills trough was originally located in Footscray, Victoria, and like many other troughs it had to be moved to make way for new roadworks. Luckily it was saved from the rubbish tip.

    Present owners Mal and Gina discovered it lying in a very neglected state covered by thick blackberries bushes where it had laid for many years.

    This Trough now receives the tender loving care it deserves, and with water connected in its present location beside a Old Hand pump, it will survive for many more years.

    Kyneton No2

    This trough had originally been in the Lorne area Victoria and was retrieved from the tip as a garden ornament before being sold at an auction. It now forms part of an extensive private collection of all types of bits and pieces from our past.

    The collection consists of many large items which include Mack and Diamond T trucks, Caterpillar tractors, Furphy water tanks, Ruston heavy engines, one weighting 25 tons.

    Smaller items are in the purpose built museum at 1868 Trentham Road, Kyneton, Victoria. which includes an extensive collection of Automobillia, and other general items.

    This collection is not open to the public but the owners welcome people who have a genuine interest in collecting. Thanks Ian.
