Sheep that had hitherto been run in flocks of 1,500 to 2,000, tended during the day by a man and a dog and yarded at night, were now turned into large paddocks by tens of thousands with only a boundary rider to look to the fences.

It didn't matter in the boundary rider, but p'r'aps it might in the Dook.

The best thing I can do is to go back, and turn boundary rider or whim driver.

The property itself covered I do not know how many square miles, divided into paddocks, and in each or most of these paddocks stood a house in which the boundary rider and his family lived.

It's Queensland boundary rider's fare, but the best I can offer you.
