Bill the bastard was arguably the toughest Australian Lighthorse in history. Good luck trying to ride him though. Today's episode I get a tad passionate about the plight of the Brumbies in the Victorian High Country , most of which have links to the heritage of Australian Lighthorse's . As I mention in the podcast , I am useless at legal jargon and politics , so I've decided to tell Bill's story instead. Because Bill is proof that these horses are not useless feral animals that need culling. A lot of the soldiers who attempted to stay on Bill for longer than a minute may have disagreed. But in the end Bill proved just because your a cranky bastard doesn't mean you don't have courage , strength .. and a massive heart.
I could not have told his story with out this website https://billthebastard.org/ definitely check it out for more on Bill and the Australian Lighthorse legacy
