Stock routes, also known as cattle tracks or drover's trails, are historical routes which were primarily used for driving cattle over long distances. These routes were often established by Indigenous Australians and later utilized by European settlers in Australia, particularly during the 1800s. Synonyms for stock route include cattle route, trail, pathway, corridor, track, and cattle drive. These routes were crucial for moving livestock from one location to another, especially during times of drought and overgrazing. Today, many of these routes have been preserved as heritage sites and tourist attractions to showcase Australia's rich agricultural past.
