In the magnificent high country of the Snowy Mountains, wild horses roam the land.
Immortalised and celebrated in poems, books and films, these 'brumbies' are a spectacular sight, inspiring deep emotions.
Not everyone subscribes to this romantic view of the history these horses are said to represent.
Ecologists and rangers have been warning that one of the nation's most precious national parks is in deep trouble with soaring horse numbers creating major damage to the protected environment.
Horse activists completely reject any assertions that the brumbies are to blame.
They believe the brumbies, and Australia's national identity are under attack.
An ugly divide is cutting through the country towns and surrounding mountains. At the centre of it is a question – are these horses a national icon or feral pests?
