W C Miller and the Coreena pastoral ascent
A reminiscence traces W C Miller of Coreena from jackeroo in 1891 through rising ranks to owner. It recounts the 1891 strike era at Barcaldine, Miller’s progress from boss musterer to manager and finally absolute owner, and notes Coreena’s shrinking size and lease history into 1950s. Also recalls voltage of early stations and rival names.
