Sandy Macduff, a famed Queensland cattleman, recalls buying a herd that included a roan heifer he could not kill. After a chase to recover the heifer, a red bullock bearing the Johnson brand wandered home with her bell, leading Macduff to slaughter the bullock but donate meat to a hospital and give the bell to a church. The episode earned Bullock Bell Flat its lasting name. The Judge who heard the tale later wrote from Brisbane, praising the bushman’s reminiscence.
The account notes an enquiry into a theft of a bullock, stating that at the time of the theft there was no hospital in Bullock Bell Flat and no church. The fragment emphasizes the absence of local institutions during the incident.
