WW1 Memorials
Memorials are such an important way for us to learn about and reflect upon past sacrifice in war.
Three Years On
It is now three years since the re-launch of our Public Record for Walers, this website. Did I know when I bought my first Waler, Fisher, that this was in our future?
The Australian Made All-Rounder
Waler Horse: the Australian made all-rounder. Yep that is my stallion Classic Ezekiel. Time to try out a new sport, with cattle and a night away from home essential ingredients.
