Walhalla.

“amonst the very first suppliers was Mrs Buntine of Rosedale. She had her own bullock
team, and drove it herself, loading at Port Albert, and delivering at Seaton, from whence
she despatched the loading by pack horses to Walhalla. I think I hear some city lady of the
present generation exclaim: “goodness me! a lady drive a bullock team - shocking” - Dear
young friend don’t be shocked. I have not only seen her drive her own bullocks, and
follow her own plow and harrows, and sow her own seed corn, on her own farm, but once
saw her flog at Seaton with her own bullock whip, a cowardly, drunken ruffian, who had
dared grossly to insult an unoffending girl, while other cowards, who should have been his
chastisers, turned away and laughed. An active, enterprising strong woman - a
representative of the best of the old business pioneers.
