It was heart-renderin'! An' what used they be flogged for, do you think? for the piggishness of the swells mostly. I'll tell you. There was a old feller lived out at Kaligiwa that's more than twenty miles the other side of Goulburn, an' there's Parry's Lagoon there called after him till this day.

If a Sydney man has friends residing at Goulburn, he says they are up the country. If a Goulburn man has friends at Yass, he says they are up the country. If a Yass man has friends at Young, he says they are up the country, and so on. Caddagat is "up the country".
