Mid to late 19th Century Australian carved sandstone water trough.

Carved sometime in the 1800’s, it was used as a horse water trough outside the stables of a property called “Mount Morriston” at Ross in the days when there were teams of draught horses. When draught horses were no longer needed it was used as a water trough in the shearing shed paddock up until about 1985 when it was moved into the garden at the homestead outside the front door and used for plants. Then moved to Mt Eliza and used for the same purpose.
