The Dog on the Tuckerbox

The dog section of the monument was cast in bronze by 'Oliver's Foundry' Sydney and its base sculpted by Gundagai stonemason Frank Rusconi and was unveiled by the then Prime Minister of Australia Joseph Lyons on 28 November 1932 as a tribute to pioneers. The statue was inspired by a bullock driver's poem, Bullocky Bill, which celebrates the life of a mythical driver's dog that loyally guarded the

man's tuckerbox (Australian English for lunch box) until death. A dog monument had been first erected at a site nine miles from Gundagai in 1926.
