Packhorse teams

-

The various bush camps are supplied with food on a weekly basis. Supplies ordered by the cook come up the tramway to its terminus and are transferre­d to a team of four packhorses. They will clamber high up in the ranges on specially formed horse tracks. Some are so steep that steps are cut out of the rocks. These horses will carry 60 kilograms and trek 11 kilometres to reach Dancing Camp.
