[can-talk] Enquiry about a wheelbarrow from 1840's, Goulburn Gaol NSW

Dear colleagues,

I am currently working with a social history museum in Goulburn, that has on display a wooden/iron wheelbarrow reportedly made by inmates from the second Goulburn gaol (approx. 1842 - 1850). Unfortunately the museum has no provenance or documentation to support this attribution.

Please see the attached picture.

Does this look similar to any objects in your collections? Any suggestions or comments regarding its rarity, representativeness or similarity to objects in other collections would be most appreciated.

Many thanks,

Roxanne Fea
Goulburn Mulwaree Council Museum Advisor
