The Old Greenhide Quartpot Pouch

Description

This image from a previously published edition depicts Hugh Sawrey’s quartpot in its homemade greenhide leather pouch. A quartpot was a combination of billy and drinking cup and an essential part of any drovers camping kit.

His leather pouch was inscribed with the names of all the stations he had worked at over his career and, hung off a nail in his painting studio, was the inspiration for founding the Stockman’s Hall of Fame.
