I’m reading an Ozzie book about drovers, cattlemen, horse traders, Aborigines, deserts, animals, heat and cross-country transport. An autobiography beginning one hundred years ago.
Cattle stations, farms, ranches, whatever you wish to call them were big. Make that massive. Here in NZ we hear of early stations (farms) of tens of thousands of acres, those in the Northern Territory (NT), and adjacent states were thousands of square miles (much bigger than acres or kilometres).
Mostly desert, travel
