In thought a Drover was a man's job rather than a living creature :dunno:

Yes Garry I agree the Drover was a job herding cattle or sheep or something.....

As an aside I recall as a young lad seeing a TV series called the Flying Doctor...an Australian series using the DH Drover. Each week there was an exciting episode which everyone tuned into weekly...I think the Base operator was a blind man....long time ago to remember...pity that never made it to modern day DVD...must be in the Aussie tv archives somewhere.....

I never saw the earlier series Brian, but I did see the 1980's remake using a Nomad.

I saw that one too...GAF Nomad....in colour too......the early one was ....let me think.....around 1959-60. (I did say I was a YOUNG lad..!!!!)

I expect there are a few others on here that may be old enough to remember it.....if they own up to it that is... :lol: :lol: :lol:

The earlier one was shown in the Sixties at weekends but our ITV didn't have any programmes on WE mornings until the mid eighties.

I remeber it being on but we didn't get it :-(
