Similar to the 1869 watercolour with the title Road from Forest Creek to Bendigo. A digger stands beside the road, his dog and swag at his feet, behind a wrecked dray at the side of the road. A heavily laden dray is being hauled up the steep slope by a team of six bullocks, whose two drivers are whipping the team.
