City Slickers Go Outback "Life on Carnegie Station Part 2"

S1E36 - Our short series "City Slickers Go Outback" continues as we go into caretaker mode at Carnegie Station. The muster has moved away to camp so now we step up to look after the station. There is lots to do and hopefully this ( and the next couple) of videos will provide an insight into life on a very remote cattle station in the centre of Western Australia.

Very neat. It makes me miss living and working on my uncle’s ranch even with the mundane chores. It never got as hot as the temperatures you shared. A hot summer day was 85 Fahrenheit and temperatures in mid fall could be 35 Fahrenheit and mid to late winter could easily reach the mid to low teens. Twenty plus inches of snow is also typical. These extremes come from the dry air in the high desert and his house is at 7000 feet in elevation. Again, neat video.

thanks for continuing to watch 🙏🏻 the environment is beautiful but can also be harsh. it is not for everyone, but we enjoy it out there. we would love to one day experience a USA high country ranch ❤️ is definitely on the bucket list.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I think Jack Carmody from Prenti did an interview with you guys a while back?

[@greataussieodyssey]

So What Did u do For a Job in the City

[@greataussieodyssey]

fulltime travellers now but 12 months ago we both left jobs we loved (Mike was Chevy Sales & Sam was Medical Admin). never been on a farm, least of all a remote cattle station

[@nigelmorgan3449]

Question the people that run the station full time are they having a holiday
and whilst there away are you guys looking after the place whilst there away

[@greataussieodyssey]

thanks for watching 🙏🏻 they were away for 2 weeks holiday, there was 3 weeks where the muster crew had to camp away from homestead so those 5 weeks we are essentially alone. the other weeks we are assisting the fulltime staff. the whole time we are also responsible for the tourist trade that comes thru on way along Gun Barrel Highway.
