- Five years of drought in the Gascoyne, WA, has given Andrew and Nicola Forrest’s Harvest Road the chance to upgrade infrastructure on Brickhouse station and turn the 225,000ha property into an efficient cattle property, with side-projects in growing mangoes, sweet potatoes and agave.

Our grandmothers brother lived, worked and breathed Brickhouse Station from approx 1954 age 21 yrs to 2003 aged 70yrs. I have treasured memories of our parents taking us kids on regular visits with him throughout the 1970’s-1980”s. He lived in the single men’s quarters next to the main homestead, kept an orange, mandarine and lemon orchard, free ranging chooks and fowls (best fresh eggs) kept a big coffee tin full of loose change he’d store (he’d alway give us few bob for lollies when we left), always had his radio going listening to TAB races or football games, we'd tag along on decline and windmill runs in his little Suzuki, looking for emu eggs, bush tucker, shoot a roo, enjoy dinner outs, follow one of the geothermal hot spring ‘canal’s’ that ran Southwest direction through station property to Callagidee Rd - crossing North West Coastal highway toward the sea at Bush Bay (this was ALWAYS full and provided a continuous supply of water for livestock and native flora and fauna alike!) Always with his beautiful border collies - his best mates and companions - they were loyal to him alone and accompanied him everywhere he went. Was known to go out to hunt & shoot wild dogs that threatened and killed livestock from time to time - hanging them on boundary fence along Gascoyne Junction road cattle grid as warning to townspeople to keep their pets from straying! He knew that place blindfolded. Never married or had kids of his own. A true bush gentleman, football player, and pastoral station legend! Men of his ilk in this day & age - One In A Million 🙏🏽♥️

A few thousand cows and about ten trillion flies. A bit of a toss up I reckon.... 🙂
So, who owns the property, the Chinese?
G'day Rosie, Brickhouse is Australian owned.
@@rmwilliamsoutbackmagazine thank you for your reply. It is so good to hear considering a lot of our pastoral land is owned by international companies. I loved you video and everything you are achieving. Cheers Perth, WA
Let's say if it were owned by the Chinesevl. Do you think they will bring the work force from Chine to Australia?
@@holissarbeni2121Common sense suggests Chinese owners objective would be to make a profit and therefore , employ people who know both the business and the environment.Obviously those people would be Australians
Andrew "twiggy" Forrest owns this station and also owns FMG mining Australia
