      Especially with the responsibility of caring for 5 horses. That can really give youths like me a sense of accomplishment which a lot of us lack

    I remember going over to Killarney station many years ago when the Tapp family where still there. They held a horse sale and camp draft on the station, must have been around the time when Elders rural where selling the place as it had gone into receivership. I was working down the road at Humbert river station. The life in a stock camp teaches you that hard work won't kill you. I guess we worked on average 15 to 16 hours every day from Monday to Sunday. We would spend 4 months at a time in camp lived under a tree in a swag with a bag full of work clothes and nothing else. The head stockman was paid $400 a week , could you imagine Gen X and Y doing these hours for this sort of money.

    Great video and good sensible interviews too.
    So nice to see such professional and responsible attitudes to cattle, horses and staff.
    So very different to the stations I worked on in the 1980s - where getting people and animals hurt seemed like the managers favourite pastime. 🤦🏼‍♀️ If I'm ever looking to work on a station again, these fellas will be the ones I'll contact. 👍🏼

    Those scenes remind me a stint I did on Anthony’s Lagoon in 76. The place had gone into receivership and we had to do a bang tail muster on the lot. Some experience for a newbie who couldn’t even ride. A few months on and a Booralooa rodeo I almost passed as a poor ringer 😂. Thanks a lot for the vid .

    Thanks for the trip. I appreciate your program as best I understand. I'm a Yank with an aussie half-brother who I'd love to visit, and if I were to do so, I'd surely love to check our one of your stations. Quarter horses are for me. We don't see much of the Brahma or such breeds of cattle in our area, but keeping them quiet while working them reduces the shrink and save the dollars. Stay well and safe.

    Thanks good video. I was in stock camps up that way in the early 1980s. Interesting to see how many things have changed... just the old blokes used to say to us back then! Keep up ther good work guys.

      yeah me too, late 80's, couldn't see any poly pipe being used in the yards, being a bit more patient with the cattle, slowing things down, traditional way, keeping the choppers out from the mob. I remember being on the tail of a mob and a chopper drop down over us, my young horse didn't like it at all. I was gesturing angrily up at him. The pilot thought we were moving too slowly I think

    I reckon youths today should be given 2 choices when they have run in's with the cops.... 1) join the military ... 12 month stint should sort them out. 2) join a station like this. The outback would start to thrive again.

    au 🦜- 1970s 1st job worked on a station drove tractors and learnt to ride a 17.5 hand horse within an hr then sent Droving 2.500 head sheep over 150 miles vic
    even though the pay was less than the dole in 70s & deducted 1/2 our pay for board $25 worth the experience to look back on
    then left for the city 35yrs L8tr still think its more an older mans job its all about the Serenity of the bush
