 Grabbing some grass during the days move.

The drovers drive the cattle on horseback along the long paddock for up to 9 months a year. The long paddock originated over a century ago when there was little to no water available for the stock. The cattle were then driven out onto the roads and covered hundreds of kilometers grazing the roadside. Not only did this keep the roadside trimmed but the cattle were conditioned. This tradition has continued to this day.

This week I will be covering the crossing of paths of two extremely large herds of cattle as they venture on their way.

You have not only captured the true "Aussie" spirit, but have also captured some excellent images, from a photographer called, Judi Liosates..... or just Judi to us DPC members.
The composition of this one is really great, as it shows us another side, that most people would overlook.

The composition couldn't be better. The blue and red amidst the natural green is great. I just love paints!!! I'm jealous. I wish I could be a bug on your shoulder.
