In January 1887, Lambert's family decided to migrate to Australia. For his first 8 months in Australia, Lambert worked on his great-uncles sheep farm. He later returned to the country after 1891, to work as a station-hand for about two years. These brief experiences gave Lambert a love for horses which became evident in many of his artworks.
