About the poem: A poem by Edward Dyson (1865–1931) that offers an unembellished account of the life of a bullock driver and his team. Unlike many romanticised Australian bush ballads, this poem focuses on the relentless, gritty labor of clearing tracks and transporting goods in the harsh Australian landscape.  It serves as a historical snapshot (and now a reminder) of early transport history in Australia, highlighting the crucial role of bullock drivers to move heavy loads that had a significant contribution to building Australia's infrastructure and wealth; long before motorised transport and well-developed roads.
