We would always take a mule with us when out mustering, for carrying a canteen of water. Another mule we'd call the pack mule, we'd pack it with dinner stuff like damper, corn beef, tea, sugar, milk, billycans, cups, things that we would otherwise carry ourselves on the saddle.
In the back are wild cattle, some men are tailing the cattle, while the others are having dinner. Also the men always have a change of horse to ride.
This place is at Paddy Pocket country on Fossil. Fossil Downs station is on the Margaret and Fitzroy Rivers. Muludja community is nearby, and is on Go Go station itself.
