Two thousand head of cattle will begin their journey through the Central Highlands this week as drovers walk the large mob south along the region’s stock route.
Drovers will be walking the herd along the Gregory Highway from Clermont through to Rolleston starting this week.
Motorists are urged to be patient and vigilant when encountering the herd and residents should ensure their pets are under effective control. Under Queensland legislation, travelling livestock have right of way and may hold up traffic for 15 minutes at a time.
Warning signs will be put in place to advise oncoming traffic of the cattle’s location and drivers are encouraged to reduce speed and stay alert.
Stock routes are owned by the state government and managed by the Central Highlands Regional Council.
Council thanks residents in advance for their cooperation.
