Historical information

MacLough surprises Neilson, erstwile manager of "Gooloora", breakfasting off a bottle of whisky and a cup of black tea, and sacks him on the spot.
Ordering the hands to be called together he looks them over and queries the absence of young O'Day.
Jackeroo Reg Apperton tells him O'Day is out mending a fence at the back of the stud paddock, and MacLough commands that Apperton drive him out there forthwith.
D. Hartsman as Neilson.
