Old Dunstan Road
Peter Robson drives a team of five horses pulling a replica of a gold-rush Cobb & Co coach over the Old Dunstan Road. The road, which traverses the Lammermoor Range and Rough Ridge, was one of the early routes to the gold diggings at ‘the Dunstan’ – present-day Clyde and Alexandra.
