WHAT WERE THEY THINKING

Sheep were first pushed out into the hot, dry "stations" of the Australian interior during the 1840s to 1860s. This expansion was driven by a combination of economic ambition, new technology, and a colonial worldview that saw the arid landscape as "wasted" unless it was put to industrial use. Old habits need to die, not the sheep.
