This project aims to study art made on sheep and cattle station by Aboriginal labourers from the 1880s to the early 1970s, in regions from South-West Australia to Northern Queensland. Australia is said to have been founded 'on the sheep's back', but the experience of Aboriginal labour in Australian pastoralism is little documented. The project will combine the methods of art and labour histories to contextualise carved stock whip handles, early drawings of horses, rock engravings, watercolour paintings and branded shields. The project outcomes will be a reconstruction of Aboriginal experiences of pastoralism in Australia to create a more nuanced history of Aboriginal art before 1970, as well as the history of Australian pastoral industries.

该项目旨在研究从 1880 年代到 1970 年代初，从澳大利亚西南部到昆士兰北部地区，原住民劳工在羊牛站上制作的艺术品。据说澳大利亚是“建立在羊背上”的，但澳大利亚牧业中原住民劳动的经验却鲜有记录。该项目将结合艺术和劳动史的方法，将雕刻的鞭柄、早期的马画、岩石雕刻、水彩画和品牌盾牌融入背景中。该项目的成果将是重建澳大利亚原住民的畜牧业经验，以创建 1970 年之前原住民艺术的更细致的历史，以及澳大利亚畜牧业的历史。
