The timber getters were usually on contract and cutters sometimes worked in pairs but some worked alone. The bush men wielded axes and other tools of their trade like the cross cut saw, barking bar, maul and wedges and brush hook. The brush hook was an important tool that was used to clear a track so the bullocks had an open pathway as they could be injured by being staked on a sharp-cut sapling. A good bullock was a valuable resource and two good leading bullocks were essential for the smooth operation of the team. Almost as important were the two bullocks at the rear known as the “polers”. Mustering and yoking up to 24 bullocks could take up to two hours. Each bullock had a name and recognised it when spoken to. Once the power of bullock teams became available, logs were hauled along tracks for great distances to a waterway or, at times, to “chutes” down which allowed the logs to be launched over the escarpment to slide to the bottom where they were hauled by bullock teams or rafted to a mill or transport hub.
