Clip description

Interspersed with historical footage showing Napperby, Teddy Briscoe tells us about past musters and the many Indigenous men involved in them. Teddy tells us all the areas where mustering took place.

Curator’s notes

The cattle industry relied on Indigenous labour, and the litany of places that were covered during mustering informs us of the wide areas involved during this time. The legacy of Teddy Briscoe and other Indigenous stockmen is of great importance to Australian industrial history.
