About this Item

Tor Holth, Rigby. Author: Tor HolthBinding: HardbackPublished: Rigby, 1980Condition:Book: GoodJacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: YellowedMarkings: Previous ownerTor Holth's Cattlemen of the High Country presents a vivid historical account in the genre of Australian rural heritage, chronicling the lives and traditions of the mountain cattlemen who worked the Bogong High Plains. The book details the seasonal rhythms of alpine grazing, the annual musters before winter snowfalls, and the rugged bushmanship required to navigate steep terrain and harsh conditions. Holth uncovers the character and camaraderie of these self-reliant men-stockmen, drovers, and storytellers-whose lives shaped the folklore and identity of Victoria's high country. Through photographs, maps, and firsthand recollections, the narrative illustrates a vanishing way of life marked by endurance, skill, and deep connection to land and livestock.
