Black Swamp Sculpture - Headless Horseman



Witchwae on the HAY PLAINS


' FLAT AS!!!! '
 



Headless Horseman sculpture is a story about Drovers around the Black Swamp in the middle of 19th century told of a horseman who appeared suddenly at a campsite, mounted on a trotting cob, a cloak about his shoulders but with NO head, spooking the animals and causing stampedes.
It was said to be the ghost of a drover who died at the swamp
 
 


Today the legend is forever captured in the sculpture of the "Headless Horseman"
