Samuel Amess, from Scotland, who made a fortune in the Victorian goldfields and became Mayor of Melbourne in 1869, kept a small fold of black Highland cattle on Churchill Island, (near Phillip Island) in the 19th century.
NOTE: Although a group of cattle is generally called a herd, a group of Highland cattle is known as a "fold". This is because in Scotland's winter, the cattle were kept in open shelters made of stone called folds, to protect them from the weather at night. Source: HERE
