“During the first year in his new boots, Denis Ronin worked on farms, barges, and in smithies. But by the time he was sixteen he had his own horse and was acknowledged as one of the finest stock-riders in the business.  His chosen life, working with cattle and horses, which he continued until he was seventy-three, took him all over the northern Territory, South Australia, Queensland and New South Wales, on the enormous cattle drives from the grazing lands to the towns.”
