How Babs Malone Cut Down the Field
Barcroft Henry Boake
Now the squatters and the ‘cockies’,
Shearers, trainers and their jockeys
Had gathered them together for a meeting on the flat;
They had mustered all their forces,
Owners brought their fastest horses,
Monaro-bred—I couldn’t give them greater praise than that.
’Twas a lovely day in Summer—
What the blacksmith called ‘a hummer’,
The swelling ears of wheat and oats had lost their tender green,
And breezes made them shiver,
Trending westward to the river—
The river of the golden sands, the moaning Eucumbene.
