About

Bills horse troughs are watering troughs that were manufactured in Australia and installed to provide relief for working horses in the first half of the 20th century.

The troughs were financed by a trust fund established through the will of George Bills. A total of around 700 troughs were distributed by the trust in Australia and 50 in several other countries.
