Peter Moore left the city behind in 1952 to become part of a dying breed - a long - distance drover. In My Droving Days we follow his progress through the 1950s as he rubs shoulders with the larger - than - life characters - and their dogs and horses - who trekked along the outback stock routes of western Queensland and New South Wales.<br/>Meet the world's worst cattle dog and the station hand, Charlie, who blows an outside toilet (and its contents) sky high; thrill to the high drama of a night stampede; catch a poddy dodger in the act; get caught by a beast's horns; take on a brown snake while collecting wild duck eggs or shoot a few roos to feed the twenty - seven dogs on the team.<br/>My Droving Days captures the real taste of the outback and the vanishing world of the overlanders, bulldust and all.<br/>
