After arriving in Australia and assisting his sister, Bridget to get a job in Adelaide, [Michael Cullinan] rolled up his swag and made for Beltana Station owned by Thomas Elder…stayed there a few months.” (Phyllis Plant, letter)
Michael briefly works at Beltana, driving the bullock team. According to Doug Curran (The History of James Cullinan, p. 13) “…this proved too much to handle as he finished with the wagon locked between two trees.”
Further information on, and photos of, the camel and bullock teams can be found at the Flinders Ranges history website.
