I couldn’t resist creating a waymark for this great statue.
Blue Heelers are amazing dogs!
They are loyal, friendly and brilliant companions.
Well worthy of this monument.
PLAQUE
Blue Heeler Country
Erected in 2001 with the kind assistance of the
Mount Arthur North Coal Project
&
Muswellbrook Businesses
This statue has been erected in recognition of the contribution to
Australian rural life by the Australian Cattle Dog and the development
of our “Blue Heeler” in the Upper Hunter.
The “Blue Heeler” was bred by crossing the Australian dingo and the
Northumberland Blue Merle, producing an ideal working dog.
The result was a dog capable of coping with the extreme conditions
of the Australian Bush and the ability to control the wildest of
cattle on the vast properties throughout the colonies.
Our community salutes Thomas Simpson Hall who was instrumental
in the development of the original “Blue Heelers” in the 1840’s,
at his family’s property “Dartbrook” near Aberdeen.
Breed: Blue Heeler
Date Built: 2001
