      MY FIRST MUSTER was in a paddock called West Freeneys: two choppers in the air, six horses, and a bike. It was by far the biggest muster I’d ever seen. By ‘northern’ standards, it would be considered an average-to-small muster, but coming from 40 hec

      THE COCK AND THE BEAN.

      And she came to the oven and said: "Oven, oven, give me some loaves! The loaves are for the hay-makers, who will give me some hay, the hay's for the cow, who will give me some butter, and the butter's for
