Council to get behind Wheelbarrow Race
He said that for competitors to successfully race between Mareeba and Chillagoe pushing a wheelbarrow would require the same spirit and determination that drove the early pioneers who opened up the region. “Make no mistake about it, it will be a real challenge. I am confident that enough people will be prepared to give it a go to make it a success.”

David, the link doesn't seem to like it, but going to the site (excellent btw) and searching (funnily enough) for "Wheelbarrow" brings up the clickable thumbnails and that rather spiffy number. Very beautiful. It's number 13 of barrows, and number 5, "sail-assisted wheelbarrow, late 18th century"
also took our fancy.
