Knights of the road and roaming drifters in rugged outback lore
An extended reminiscence sketches the road life in early Cairns times. It portrays road bosses and drivers as kings of the route, the dangers of cattle and weather, and the solitary wanderers who shape a hardy, self reliant culture along remote tracks. The piece mixes anecdote with vivid characters and local color.
