'Click Go The Shears':
‘Hope you realise what you’re doing.’ Martha finished. ‘I’ll clear the dishes.’
Nat didn’t want his wife’s blessing only he would make the final decision in the end to purchase these properties. In his mind’s eye Kahmoo Station would become headquarters to his grand plan, the epicentre. Managers would operate each station he purchased. His eyes grew wide with admiration to witness these properties in his mind’s eye, his own empire to govern the operations and become the largest wool grower in south-west Queensland or maybe Australia.
I’ll make it happen, Nat thought. His imagination glowed with a picture of the future, riding across his empire to inspect stock, speak to each manager, plan on further purchases of properties until he owned enough to be the wealthiest grazier in the south-west Queensland. May even think about entering politics.
He remembered his father telling him often how when he was growing up in Sydney Town he longed to own his own property after working at ‘Camden Park’ with John Macarthur. His father wanted to be as rich as the Macarthur family and soon realised growing wool became the road to riches.
Stories filled his mind when his father told him in 1847, one year after Thomas Mitchell discovered the district of Cunnamulla, aboriginal meaning, long stretch of water Cunnamulla was the future. He married Gloria. They purchased the property and named it ‘Kahmoo Station’ situated ten miles west of Cunnamulla. With 300 head of sheep and a new bride the trip took nine months. Nat was born on their arrival at the property.
