Book
For the drover's life has pleasures that the townsfolk never know. From the High Country to the Outback, there are extraordinary stories of the men and women who have travelled across Australia behind mobs of cattle, sheep and horses. These quiet achievers, of every race and creed, forged an Australian legend. Evan McHugh bring alive these stories, which overflow with colourful characters. McHugh's meticulous research and vivid eye for detail are the closest you'll get to saddling up and poking a mob of cattle off camp.
