I just remembered one of the first jobs I had before I went fruit-picking. I was working as a jackaroo on the Prongorong Cattle Stud (Polled Herefords). One of the cows had a name that I always found amusing:
Prongorong Daisy Mae LXXXIII
Prongorong Daisy Mae The Eighty-Third.
John Keynes (right). Owner of the Prongorong Stud. He died while swimming at a beach in suburban Sydney a few years after this photo was taken.

I would love to hear more about your time working at Prongorong. John Keynes was my Grandfather who I would like to hear more about.
