This Australian Road wagon was built in the late 19th century by an unknown maker. It is a four-wheeled, two-seat carriage with a simple design. Its two seats are uncovered and have black leather upholstery, and the body and undercarriage of the vehicle is painted black. The front of the carriage has irons for coach lamps, and a bracket to hold the horse whips, and a cane umbrella holder. Behind the seat box at the back of the vehicle is a small storage tray/box.
