I Was The Last Drover - Mervyn Street Mervyn Street

I Was The Last Drover - Mervyn Street Mervyn StreetThis was back in my mustering days. In this print, all the dust from the cattle was in the air as we tried to move the cattle in the yard towards the truck and up the ramp. This is my memory of the first cattle truck coming to get all the bullock. Before this, I remember we would go droving all the way to Broome and Derby. Now we had trucks which made me one of the last drovers around Fitzroy Crossing Louisa Downs. Mervyn Street Lithograph on 300gsm

All the flowers and animals that come round the billabong
