“Sent out to work at 11, married at 16, mother at 17 and on the track as a drover’s wife, Hazel McKellar has a life of drama. “I crossed the raging Cato Creek with three horses, a wagonette and four children…” The drover’s wife turns drover herself, in charge of 5,000 head. Hazel graduates to consultant and heads off to do battle in committees after the Cunnamulla ‘riot’ arouses her fighting spirit to new causes.”
