Ida (Deborah Kerr) has persuaded her husband to inquire about a job shearing sheep.

A close-up of a ‘modern stud’ sheep is shown to be the product of a ‘century’s breeding’.

As the shearing reaches full speed at Waratah Station, the overseer Fletcher (Les Warton) tells Clive Sherrington (John Warwick) to deliver a package from the car when he goes to see Morgan.

Wayne Ridgeway (Dick Fair, credited as Grant Lyndsay) has gone to work for Clive Sherrington (John Warwick), after recuperating from a horse fall at Enderby Station.

As the rescue party escorts the 3,000 sheep to safety, Clive (John Warwick), Joan (Jocelyn Howarth) and Wayne (Grant Lyndsay) are still caught in the fire.

The Carmodys are camped in the Snowy Mountains beside a farm that’s for sale. Paddy (Robert Mitchum) explains why owning a farm is a recipe for misery.

Ida sends Jean Halstead (Dina Merrill) to town to fetch Bluey Brown from the pub. Bluey’s wife is in labour and Paddy (Robert Mitchum) is under strict instructions to keep him sober.
