Photo of an Australian Wheelwright taken in the Aussie outback somewhere.
Don'cha hate it when your supervisor wants to breathe down your neck?
some large wheels too! bet it takes 3-4 guy to handle putting on the metal tire!
The leftmost wheel in the background...does it have curved spokes?!?
Wheels for freight wagons?
Interesting picture.
My guess is the wheels would have been used bullock team wagons. These were common in early Australia.
Did they do them like locomotives it would be high speed? maybe stage coaches? or they are some short guys?
