Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Droving with Ben Taylor is based on the diary of a Canning Stock Route drover. It is the only droving diary known from the 50 years of operation of the Canning Stock Route, the longest and most remote stock route in the world.

Detailed here, the old hand, Ben Taylor, teaches the youthful Len Hill the art of droving in the desert lands. With horses and camels from Wiluna to Billiluna and return with cattle. This unique account describes the pleasures and duties of a drovers life, the cattle, the land, and its inhabitants.

Len Hill is a retired Kimberley pastoralist. Among his many local roles, he was a Halls Creek Shire Councillor, a Kimberley Zone Development Committee member, and a JP. (back cover)
