Bush ranger hunting

This fellow and his horse were part of the parade of the "running of the sheep" at Boorowa today and represented the time of the bush ranger. This fellow I presume was a "trap" or policeman of the time. Seen here resting in the shade and talking to the crowd.

Reminds me of the many cowboy and early soldiers films of my childhood. So lovely to see.

Nice candid. I wonder if the time period represented was the 1860's. He looks like a Union soldier during the Civil War (U.S.A.)

[Margo]

looks like he is enjoying the ride!!

@randystreat looks like you might be right; Edward (Ned) Kelly (1855-1880), bushranger, was born in June 1855. This was the time of the bush ranger here in early Aus.
