Starlight, Jim, and I had another; and the three stranger chaps another.

We'd had a couple of knockabouts to help with the cooking and stockyard work.

They were paid by the job.

They were to stay at the camp for a week, to burn the gunyahs, knock down the yard, and blind the track as much as they could.
Some of the cattle we'd left behind they drove back and forward across the track every day for a week.

If rain came they were to drop it, and make their way into the frontage by another road.
