	DROVERS CAVE,WA - Cave Destruction through Management
		Drovers Cave (J2) is situated in the Drovers Cave National Park about 5km east of Jurien Bay in Western Australia.
		An area of 2680 ha is reserved around Drovers Cave and the area was vested in the N.P.A. as a Class C reserve in May, 1972.
		Given that a great deal of the proposed management plan for Drovers Cave is a general strategy then the possibility of extending the ideas expressed within the plan to assist other caves in the same or a similar situation is highly feasible.

	GENUKI:Welsh Cattle Drovers in the C19th - 3
		While the bulk of the drovers doubtless made little contribution to life outside their own communities, there are numerous examples to illustrate the profound influence of individuals upon the cultural, spiritual and financial life of Wales.
		While the nineteenth century drover was regarded with mistrust and suspicion by many of his contemporaries, it is nevertheless true that from among the ranks of the drovers arose many men of the highest integrity and cultural attainment, whose contribution to the economic and social life of their times was of the greatest importance.
		The benefits of such an arrangement to the drovers were made clear by one David Williams who contended that the availability of cash permitted him to buy cattle at a cheaper rate than would have been possible had he been forced to obtain credit.

	The Drovers Wife
		Drover's wife is one of Drysdale's most poignant and enduring images.
		In Lawson's story, The drover's wife, the author contrasted fertile and tender female qualities and emotions with the sterile and hard nature of life in the outback.
		Drover's wife was owned by Kym Bonython (born 1920), one of the most significant collectors and art dealers of contemporary Australian art in the post-war period.

	Drovers Tolls & Tracks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		These sources of grievance to the drover were, in consequence, avoided wherever possible, and he sought out tracks which enabled him to by-pass the turnpikes and along which the drove could maintain an uninterrupted progress.
		It was not always possible for the drover to avoid the main highways, and the advantages of the more devious routes had to be weighed in relation to the destination and the time taken to arrive there, so that the ordinary highways were employed for considerable stretches.
		Arrived at their destination, the drovers tasks were not completed until the cattle fatigued and emaciated after the long trek, had been safely disposed of in the fat pastures previously arranged and rented for their reception.

	GENUKI:Welsh Cattle Drovers in the Nineteenth Century - 1
		While the senior drovers would normally spend the night in a farmhouse or tavern, it was frequently the practice for the juniors to sleep alongside the cattle and to ensure that their charges were adequately fed and watered.
		On reaching their destination in the Midlands or Home Counties, the drovers would attempt to sell off all their stock at one or other of the local fairs, and as the expense accounts suggest, it was often necessary to travel to many fairs before the full complement of cattle was sold.
		In the early years of the century, the dealer or head drover would return to Wales by coach, ensuring that he was dressed in an inconspicuous fashion in order not to advertise the fact that he was carrying several thousand pounds in golden sovereigns in the long leather pockets of his greatcoat.

	BC Museum: Droving
		At the period we speak of, a Highland drover was victualled for his long and toilsome journey with a few handfuls of oatmeal and two or three onions, renewed from time to time, and a ram's horn filled with whisky, which he used regularly, but sparingly, every night and morning.
		How it became to be applied to drovers is not clear, however, it may be that the profession of droving arose in cattle reaving or rustling, which, at least in Scotland, was for many years a fact of life.
		Drovers often carried money between farmers and merchants, were authorized to sell livestock along their routes, and were responsible for the safe delivery of both livestock and currency.

	Not everyone knows this.... [5]
		This side of the drover's character did not escape the satirical whip of Thomas Edwards [Twm o'r Nant] where the drover went from one inn to another, with little thought for the welfare of the cattle entrusted to him, singing to the harp and with an eye on loose women.
		Drovers were frequently entrusted with important financial transactions of a kind that would hardly be likely, or possible, if drovers as a class were soley represented by knaves and cheats.
		Occasionally, a drover in a large way, would be paid a bill on some London house such as Child's, and this a neighbouring squire might be glad to purchase when he was next in town [A H Dodd, The Beginnings of Banking in North Wales; Economica, 1926].

	GENUKI : Welsh Cattle Drovers
		The book does not claim to be a comprehensive history of droving between Wales and England and although one chapter deals with evolution of the cattle trade most of the remaining pages are concerned with the trade in the C19 for which relatively abundant sources material is available.
		Inevitably the financial success or failure of cattle dealing was inextricably linked with the fortunes of the Welsh farmer who raised the store cattle which were eventually sold to the grazier of the Midland Plains or the stall and yard feeders of the Eastern Counties of England.
		Thus many of the ancient drovers' routes described in the book were still used for their original purpose within living memory.

	The Drovers
		The common land and the pub in the centre of the village (which is still named the Drovers today) made an attractive stopping place for the Drovers as they walked the animals from the areas of St David's, Trefin, Mathry and Letterston to the markets of England.
		From Pembrokeshire the Drovers continued their journey walking the animals to Eglwyswrw and then towards Newcastle Emlyn and Lampeter, east towards Llanybydder and Llandovery then towards England.
		Usually the Drovers would return home as part of a crew of half a dozen as there was always a risk of Highway robbers attacking them and stealing their money.

	Country Mile Farm - Drovers Trail
		Have you ever wondered how the early drovers managed to feed their animals on a two hundred mile trip to market and not “walk the fat off ‘em” (They actually gained weight on the way).
		The droving of the early 1800’s that lasted for three quarters of a century through eastern Ohio was an art that was copied to some great extent in the west when cattle were droved from Texas to the markets or railheads in the north.
		These are true stories of the drovers trail, taken from stories handed down from father to son, letters from drovers, and articles written at this interesting period of our American history.
