The drover and the poet came to the waterhole on the Diamantina at dusk.

‘They caught up with French here, three troopers and the boss. Said he’d started the whole mess, riled up the shearers and set the woolshed on fire. They brought back his body, singing the story he’d shot himself rather than be caught. His ghost’ll tell a different story, if you care to listen.’
