Book Dedication
This
book is dedicated to my brother Peter
William Moore who passed away on 26th July 1963 aged 25 years.
He was a drover in the Bourke district. Peter was very interested
in bush remedies and loved the bush.
Foreword
My early childhood was spent in Tilpa NSW.
We moved to Bourke when I was four and I left school there on
25th April 1955, just before my 15th birthday. I went droving
with my uncle and later had my own droving plant and also worked
on several large properties. My wife and I were married in 1965
and bought "Corella" Station. Later on we bought the
adjoining property of "Corella East", giving us a large
area for running 9,000 sheep plus cattle.
I had a good relationship with
my Aboriginal friends, whom I often employed. They were very good
at handling stock. We had some great times together.
My wife and I are now retired in Queensland.
We have two grown up sons, Peter and Andrew.
A lot of the remedies in this book were
handed down to me through my family. Others were gained through
my own experiences in the bush and through talking with friends
and acquaintances.
I have included some jokes and amusing
anecdotes in the book, as a good laugh every day is very good
medicine.
