In a way, what became of these Drover's Roads when trucks and cars and trains took over the cattle, is comparable what happened to the Telegraph Road in that song.

That's true. Before Gas And TV and earlier Telegraph...

Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

This is one of many excellent songs on the new album. Mark is so good at this style of song - very moving.

This is still a standout track on the album....So simple, yet so powerful....

Think Glenn Wharf said of another of MK's tunes - 'you feel as if you've always known it' which I think can apply to Drovers Road. The tune has a very 'olde Worlde' sound about it, mysterious even... Nonetheless it is a classic!
