Horseshoe equipment stained and cracked beneath rustedA rusted horseshoe lies on the grimy floorboards of a slab cottage built around 1890 in the Southern Tablelands, NSW. One of many domestic and agricultural remnants left behind when the building converted from dwelling to working shed, it sits among animal traps, counter scales, and a dust covered washstand. Part of the Leichhardt House series.
