Story

About this place

A group of men and boys gather around a goat-drawn hot pie cart in Charleville around 1909. The cart served as an early takeaway-food van using goats for transport. This mobile pie cart used a team of goats, which were commonly used for light carting in inland Queensland due to their hardiness in dry conditions.
