Drover

The truly remarkable story of a legendary drover – who happens to be a woman.

Courageous, clever and daring, Drover is one of a kind. Travelling through the heart of the outback, Drover delivers a mob of cattle. Searing heat, dust and flies, hardship and danger: these are just part of the job. But there's no place Drover would rather be.

This true story is brought to light through stunning oil illustrations and suspenseful text that capture the drama as Drover pushes a herd of cattle from the Kimberly to Queensland. Readers are in for a surprise ending - the drover is not a man, but the legendary Edna Jessop.
