Drovers road

A drovers road is a very old kind of road which was used by people called drovers who would move large groups of animals, usually sheep or cattle, from one place to another. It's like a big pathway made of dirt and rocks, that goes through fields and forests, and can be very long.

Think of it like the path that you take on your walk to school, but instead of just you walking on it, you have a lot of sheep or cattle with you, and you are trying to make sure they stay together and safe as you travel.

In the old days, drovers roads were super important because they were the only way for farmers to get their animals to market so that they could be sold and traded. There were no trucks or trains or airplanes to transport these animals back then. So, drovers had to use these roads to move the herds from one market town to another, sometimes covering hundreds of miles.

Today, many of these old drovers roads still exist, but they are mostly used for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. They are an important part of history and show us how our ancestors moved animals around before modern transportation.
