 | Swing Riots By 1830, the introduction of the threshing machine had inflamed the villagers of Southern England who felt their way of life was facing extinction.
THE SWING RIOTS
The Swing Riots were an agricultural phenomenon. Following years of war, high taxes and low wages, farm laborers finally snapped in 1830. These farm laborers had faced unemployment for a number of years due to the widespread introduction of the threshing machine and the policy of enclosing fields. No longer were thousands of men needed to tend the crops, a few would suffice. With fewer jobs, lower wages and no prospects of things improving for these workers the threshing machine was the final straw, the object that was to place them on the brink of starvation. The Swing Rioters smashed the threshing machines and threatened farmers who had them.
The riots were dealt with very harshly. Nine of the rioters were hung and a further 450 were transported to Australia. Amongst those were my great-great-great-grandfather Arhtur Binstead and his son George. |

| | Fogarty Drovers - Another Desert Droving Trip Bill Wilson, cattleman, is planning another big droving trip across the desert, from Bililuna to Alice Springs.
This trip was pioneered last year by Bill Wilson, Bill Waudby and Milton Willock.
Cattle from Bililuna in previous years were taken down the Canning stock route by Wally Dowling, who died "with his boots on". Stock from Bililuna cannot pass northward over the 20th parallel because of stock regulations, without going through the tick and pluero area and heading south, so for this reason, besides that of distance, the opening of this stock route wil be making Australian droving history.
Preparations are being made for a supply of water on the long dry stretches and drover Pat Fogarty will take his horse plant over the stock route from Alice Springs in preparatin for the big trip.
The country from Bililuna south over the vast stretch of desert is either san or spinnifex or else desert oak and mulga; there are very few natural waters and last year the trip was made after rain on clay pan waters.
Pat will be taking his three sons Stan, Jack and Lloyd with him and also will be accompanied by his old father and Tom Cusack. Drovers Pat and sons, last year shifted 1,240 Mt Lennard cattle to Frome Downs in South Australia, also 1,600 bullocks and dry cows from Cluny to the Frome. Antoher long trip was made by Pat last year with 1,560 Yandama cattle to the Frome. All these trips were made for Bill Wilson.
Drover Dan's father is an old territorian, uncle to the boys Dave and George, well-known drovers and station owners in the Terrirtory.
The Fogartys have been associated with the Territory as drovers for three generations and Territorians will be interested to know that grandfather Fogarty is still saddling up and will be with the boys on the long trip in the winter.
