A documentary following the efforts of a man to save a mob of wild brumbies from a remote National Park has captured the hearts of Australian regional audiences.
The Man from Coxs River charts the mission of two men - Chris Banffy and Luke Carlon . to safely relocate mass of wild horses from a water catchment area in the Burragong Valley due to fears the animals (which are classed as feral pests) will contaminate Sydney.s water supply.
Previously control operations such as these were carried out using shooters in helicopters and were highly controversial. This time, National Parks Ranger Banffy has tasked Carlon to find the horses, get them in the trap, and then break them in enough to lead them five kilometres to another set of yards with truck access.
