As he grew up he tells of his experiences helping his Stock Agent father droving sheep for clients, watering them, walking them up to 20 kilometers a day, learning to ride a one pedal bike, graduating to driving as he grew older and had an apprenticeship as a bee keeper, then moved trainloads of sheep from Broken Hill down to Kingston. Some war time experiences crept in before the family moved to Queensland where the author joined his father, at first droving and shearing sheep for him, branching into timber cutting before taking on droving from New South Wales up through the sparsely settled Carnarvon Ranges the Emerald district where he joined his father buying into a much larger property.view less
