General Notes: Lived for many years in humpy at Muchea, and then later at Bullsbrook. Ran some cattle, and also worked as drover. In the latter years had blue heeler dog - 'Bluey' who guarded his possessions whilst the old man shopped in Midland. He would just drop the horse reins, and with Bluey standing guard, the horse would stand indefinitely. On his death, Bluey tried to prevent anyone entering the old house, and difficulty was experienced in removing both deceased and dog. His transport was his horse, and he rode throughout the State over many years. He was a constant visitor to my home, and remains a treasured childhood memory.
