Before B-double stock transports ruled the roads, there were drovers. When drought bites the country there are still drovers and Pastures Protection Board rangers to watch the environment.

This book tells the stories of the stock routes of the south of New South Wales. It is full of tales of hard work, struggle, disaster and triumph and of families who have, in some cases, spent generations as drovers. It pays tribute to the stock rangers employed by the Pastures Protection Boards.

Christine Anderson, born in England, migrated to Australia at thirteen. She quickly ‘became an Australian’. She worked in Sydney and spent her holidays with drovers in the Snowy Mountains and on the western plains.

Christine Anderson allows her characters to tell their stories in their own words, and makes a significant contribution to the oral history of the bush.
