BULLOCKS’ LONG RIDE
730 MILES ON LORRY Recently a 10-tou motor lorry of the six-wheeled type was used to convey 21 bullocks from a cattle station in the south-west of Queensland to Broken Hill, in New South Wales, a distance of about 750 miles. At Broken Hill the cattle were placed in cattle trucks and taken by rail to the stock market at Adelaide, this section of their journev being equal to that between Loudon and Edinburgh.
To get the cattle, to the market it was necessary to use this means of transport, as owing to the dry conditions prevailing in the south-western portion of Queensland it was not possible to move the cattle by the usual method of droving. If the venture proves successful more cattle will be sent by this means.
