Throwback Thursday Santa and the Drover Santa and the Drover was commissioned by local biscuit company Arnott’s in 1964 for its Christmas biscuit tins. Artist Jack Waugh used himself as a model for the drover whose horse is tentatively getting to know Santa’s reindeer in the background. The drover shares his billy tea – and biscuits – with Santa. The popular image even inspired a poem about Santa being lost in the Australian bush and seeking directions from the drover. Waugh’s painting was used by Arnott’s for many years and also graced the back cover of The Australian Women’s Weekly on a number of occasions. Merry Christmas!
