Australian historical slang for a cattle thief or rustler — someone who sweeps livestock out of remote gullies where they graze unsupervised. The term dates from the colonial pastoral era and reflects the geography of Australian cattle country, where remote gullies made theft easy to conceal and hard to trace. Now largely a historical curiosity.
