Sinopse

The term 'horse-power' may have come about as a marketing tool to sell steam engines in the 1770s, but for the biennial Eidsvold Cattle Drive in country Queensland it's still literal. Using horses to move cattle into town, they're raising money for charity at the same time. In age of urbanisation it could be easy to forget the role horses play in our food supply chain, or the careers on offer working with them, like becoming an outback horse trainer. On the eve of a planned trial of driverless trucks, it shows just how far moving goods around Australia has come.
