A dray was a low-sided, heavy four-wheeled wagon.

Drays in Australia were most often pulled b a single horse or a pair of horses.

Wagons and drays are different from carts, which have two wheels.

I have memories of Clydesdales and drays at Gulf Station at Yarra Glen J.

Also memories, of several, Buninyong Gold King festivals and the Carlton and United Brewery, Team, of Clydesdales and dray.

I remember Reg, my husband, (69 years), telling me that his father used to go to the Edith Vale beach in a horse and cart.

There is something beautiful about old cart and wagon wheels and the less often seen complete, wagons, drays or carts.  I saw this dray in Settlement Road, Cowes, Phillip Island in the front of a Mexican Restaurant.
