    but the local people mark their purchase with a piece of puddle. When the buyers have sufficient cattle bought they commence to pay. Then the luck money forms a drama. The buyer demands a certain amount and the seller will only give a certain amount. They they make the bargain and the buyer agrees to it. The cattle are driven on to the custom gap where the buyer's pay the toll and then they hire a drover to drive them on to Birdhill Railway station where they are railed to their destination.
