- Great many travelling folk visit this part of the country. Some of them are poor and others are rich. Sometimes they sell small articles, and a great many people purchase things from them.
They buy articles in local shops and towns. They are very welcome in some houses, and people give them a lot of things, such as butter, eggs, and milk. They always remain about a place for a week or so, and they sleep in their own caravans.
Sometimes they buy food in the local shops, and other times they get it from the people. The names most common are Wests and Joyces
