Steve Graham Auctioneer
They had the distinction of providing the horse for Australia’s first Marlboro cigarette television commercial in the 1960s.
Since then, partners Bruce Gleeson and Ivanna Chesson have been the primary source of animals, wagons, sulkies and horse drawn carriages for iconic Australian films such as the Man from Snowy River, Ned Kelly and their latest effort The Legend of (outlaw) Ben Hall shortly due for release in cinemas – and countless numbers of TV commercials.

Mossgreen
Peter McMahon is a collector well ahead of his time when it comes to taste and forward thinking.
Although he began collecting art in his 20s, it was not until 1987 that he realised what it was he loved about art.
The revelation followed his viewing of the exhibition Surface for Reflection at the Art Gallery of New South Wales when he was able to identify texture, surface and colour as the elements he most admired.
Such a realisation went onto shape McMahon’s collection and, with wife Jennifer, he designed a home to house it.
