Brumbies, as the free-roaming horses of Australia are known, were once domesticated horse breeds that have been procreating and existing in the wilds of Australia for more than two centuries now. Legend dictates that the horses were released into the wild in 1801 as a last resort by James Brumby. The Brumbies now feature on a beautiful 1 oz silver bullion coin from the Perth Mint.

History

Australian legend suggests that James Brumby, a soldier, and pastoralist, was transferred from Sydney to Van Diemens Land in 1801. Upon being ordered to move, he was forced to release a number of horses into the bush. Though others escaped and lost horses have joined their ranks, the free-roaming horses have become commonly known as Brumbies over the centuries. A famous band of Brumbies roams in the Australian Alps on the southeast of the continent, but the largest populations today are in the Northern Territory and Queensland.
