Richard was gored by a Bull when he was driving cattle along a road. The dog Rover bit the bull on the tail, so saved his life.
Richard was also grabbed by an old male kangaroo when riding through the Mallee scrub. Somehow he got out of that one.
Richard and his twin brother Edwin would run down dingoes. Richard once killed one with a stirrup iron. They would take the dingo around in a cart or dray for all the farmers to see. The farmers would give them money for killing a dingo.
