Livestock bells were commonly used in the 19th and early 20th centuries on farms, cattle stations, and rural homesteads to track and identify animals. The bell's distinctive sound allowed farmers to locate their livestock over long distances in open pastures, forests, or hilly terrain. This specific bell appears to be a heavier-duty variety, possibly used for cows or larger animals rather than small livestock. The rusted chain or strap loop suggests it was fastened with a leather collar or metal ring.The item is an old, rusted metal livestock bell, likely used for cattle, sheep, or goats. It consists of: A cone-shaped metal body, with a slightly flared bottom opening, allowing sound to resonate effectively. A small metal loop and a rusted chain or strap attachment at the top, which would have been used to secure the bell around an animal's neck. The surface is heavily rusted and weathered, indicating prolonged exposure to outdoor elements.bell, cow, bullock, farm equipment, livestock

Branding irons were essential tools in livestock management, particularly in cattle and sheep farming, to identify ownership and prevent theft. This manual iron would have been heated in an open flame and then applied to the animal’s hide, leaving a permanent mark. The presence of rust and wear suggests this branding iron was used extensively on a working farm. These tools have been used for centuries, especially in Australia, the United States, and Europe, where cattle ranching played a major role in agricultural economies.This is a long-handled metal branding iron, traditionally used for marking livestock with a permanent identification symbol. The iron consists of a straight, sturdy metal shaft with a looped handle at one end, designed for gripping or hanging. The opposite end features a flat, engraved or raised branding head with a distinct shape or pattern, which would have been heated and pressed against the animal's hide to leave a lasting impression. The entire tool shows signs of age, rust, and wear, indicating extensive past use.Mc & Cobranding iron, farm equipment, sheep, cattle, livestock

Barbed wire was widely used for fencing in agriculture, livestock control, and military fortifications since the late 19th century. Razor wire is a more modern development, primarily used in security applications, such as prisons, military sites, and restricted areas. The rusted condition suggests long-term outdoor exposure, possibly recovered from an old fence or security barrier.The image shows two different types of barbed wire. One piece is coiled and features razor wire, which has sharp-edged metal strips evenly spaced along its length. The other pieces appear to be traditional barbed wire, with twisted metal strands and sharp protruding barbs at regular intervals. The wires are aged, showing signs of rust and weathering.wire, fencing, gates, farm equipment, livestock

The First Fleet comprised the 11 ships that departed from Portsmouth, England on 13 May 1787 to New South Wales, the penal colony that became the first European settlement in Australia. The First Fleet consisted of two Royal Navy vessels, three store ships and six convict transports, carrying between 1,000 and 1,500 convicts, marines, seamen, civil officers and free people (accounts differ on the numbers), and a large quantity of stores. From England, the Fleet sailed south-west to Rio de Janeiro, then east to Cape Town and via the Great Southern Ocean to Botany Bay (Australia), arriving over the period of 18–20 January 1788, taking 250 to 252 days from departure to final arrival. During the period 25–26 January 1788 the fleet moved from Botany Bay to present-day Sydney.A poster listing the names of men and women who landed with the first fleet including provisions and livestockThe First Fleet 1788the first fleet, botany bay, sydney

Hobble chains were commonly used by farmers, drovers, and horse handlers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. They were placed around a horse's legs to prevent it from wandering too far while grazing or resting. These chains were essential tools for livestock management, particularly in open grazing environments where fencing was limited. The reference to Vectis Homestead suggests this piece was used on a historical farm or station, possibly dating back to pioneering Australian agricultural practices. Horse Hobble Chain from Vectis Homestead.The item is a rusted metal hobble chain, historically used to restrain or slow down horses or livestock by limiting their movement. The chain consists of several interlinked iron loops, some of which appear twisted or slightly misshapen due to age and wear. The chain ends with a larger rectangular link, likely for attachment purposes. The surface of the chain is heavily rusted, indicating significant age and exposure to the elements.hobble chain, horse, farm equipment, functional item, horse equipment
