The gully was exceedingly rough and precipitous. So muchso that on one occasion as we were ascending in singlefile one of the packhorses lost its footing and fell.Historical record
I was proud that I’d got the horses going up the hill all right.It was difficult for me. One of the pack horses had fallen,so I decided to put it upside down and give levitationanother aspect. It is a dreadful descent and the horsewill fall forever. I am nearing the climax of the tragedy.Sidney Nolan Text © National Gallery of Australia, Canberra 2010
