Summary

[edit]
Description

During my travels from Perth to Brisbane last October, we came across some cattle in "The Long Paddock".

The Long Paddock The modern Cobb Highway follows part of the great network of stock routes that became known as “The Long Paddock” – a historic web of tracks and trails linking stock-breeding areas of inland NSW and Queensland with emerging markets in Victoria.

It also provided an escape route from drought when the seasons failed. The Long Paddock is still a working stock route which provides us with a link to times and landscapes that are long since altered. Unlike the early travellers and drovers who traversed the often harsh and unforgiving plains of the Riverina on horseback, coach or bike, we now see the world from the comfort of air-conditioned cars."
