Reminiscences of Yulgilber Estate and Early Pastoral Life
W Hamilton recalls the Yulgilber estate from its 40 000 pound start under Ogilvie and the 19th century cattle runs. He notes 30 000 sheep in early days, later shifts to cattle, the 1979 Solferine Siewings forming a township, depredations of wild cattle, tragic muster accidents, and the management practices of Ogilvie including branding, importations, and selective aging. The account covers floods at Washpool and Tabulam, drownings, and the hardships of stockmen, with personal memories of McCrotty, Stevens, and others, concluding with reflections on station life and medicine ads.
