Oil on board

Signed lower right

Estimate: $25,000 – 30,000

Inspired by the poem "Geebung Polo Club" by

A.B. "Banjo" Paterson

"…By the old Campaspe River, where the breezes shake the grass,

There's a row of little gravestones that the stockmen never pass,

For they bear a crude inscription saying, "Stranger, drop a tear,

For the Cuff and Collar players and the Geebung boys lie here.

And on misty moonlit evenings, while the dingoes howl around,

You can see their shadows flitting down that phantom polo ground;

You can hear the loud collisions as the flying players meet,

And the rattle of the mallets, and the rush of ponies' feet,

Till the terrified spectator rides like blazes to the pub -

He's been haunted by the spectres of the Geebung Polo Club."

The Tracker. The film is set in 1922 and located in the Arkaroola wilderness in the Flinders Ranges. It is the story of an Aboriginal tracker who guides three police troopers in search of an accused Aboriginal man. Coad's paintings were used in the film to replace the brutal murder scenes and to distance the audience, forcing them to confront the death scenes in a different way. According to the Director, Rolf De Heer, Coad’s paintings "altered the visual syntax of its realistic violence".
