The boys called it the " Travelling Shop " and were quite excited as Kent Saddlery only visit once a year. For me, it made me think of the old hawkers carts I've read about.
They arrived in the afternoon and left the next morning. We were their last station before heading home to their family business base. They had visited 135 outback stations in 5 months. They sold a wide variety of things from saddles, whips, leather wallets, belts, spurs to shirts and jackets or you could order from their catalogue.
Kent Saddlery also take the yearly Staff Photos and provide them the next day. The staff from the outstation, Woomoonooka, come in to the main homestead for a BBQ dinner and the photos.
