HORSE TRAIL RIDING.
I worked with Robert Turner as a vet in the 1960's. The surgery was located on the Pacific Highway in Pymble, Sydney.
Robert Turner was also a very active Alderman and he worked for years on establishing a riding trail from Sydney to Cairns.
Very few people have actually completed the entire journey on horseback. As the trail meanders through properties and forests where there is no car access, supplies have to be taken along on pack animals. The only time you have to travel on the road is to ford the major river crossings via bridges established on the highways. The entire journey takes about six months.
