May 2006 - Undeterred by snow, Susan Noble saddled up for another protest cattle drive on the Dargo High Plains. Susan is a descendant of the Guy family who owned Wonnangatta Station for a period. The initiative for the protest came from the women of the Treasure family whose ancestor Emily Treasure rode onto the plains with her baby on the saddle bow and her other children strapped to chairs on a pack horse.
