Excerpt from The Golden River Sport and Travel in ParaguayFor a day and a half we had made our way to Posadas, our railway carriage hitched to a fruit train, with its empty waggons which were to come back laden with oranges.

Durham and Hereford cattle had given place to long-horned criollo stock, which stood knee deep in the Swampy grass.
