Musterers at Woolla stockyards; c1935. (l to r) Dick Dempsey, 'Top' Hassell (standing), Billy Turnbull and Vic Storker. These men, and others claimed that the Woolla women would shoot past them on their horses after the men had drawn their reins when mustering cattle in rough country. ("Top" Hassell was of the same family as Thomas Hassell, the first native born Anglican priest in the colony of New South Wales. Thomas was known as the "galloping parson" because of the many hours he spent in the saddle attending his pastoral duties.) |
