Stockman driving his bullocks as they haul logs along bush road

A black and white image of stockman Vic Deaves driving his yoked bullocks as they haul logs along a narrow, dirt road in the bush. A thick forest of tall trees lines the sides of the road. This image was shot while filming Outlook: Bullocky 1969: Vic Deaves is a fourth-generation bushman. For as long as he can remember, his family has lived off the land, often as timber-getters in the coastal valleys of New South Wales. Vic is a bullocky, one of the last of his kind. With his team of bullocks he drags logs out of the valley too choked and precipitous for mechanised transport. It's a way of life that is dying and part of Australian history will die with it
