“Dog on the Tuckerbox” information

Panel explaining the story behind the “Dog on the Tuckerbox” statue, about 7 kilometres north of Gundagai. It can be traced to a doggerel poem, “Bullocky Bill”, published anonymously by “Bowyang Yorke” in 1857, which humorously describes a series of misfortunes faced by a bullock driver, culminating in his dog either sitting on or spoiling the food in his tucker-box.
