Description
This is big country, the outback, home to the largest cattle and sheep stations in the world. So what's life really like when next door is 500 kilometres away, and mustering livestock in their tens of thousands, backbreaking physical labour, and dealing with extreme heat and long hours is all in a day's work? And why would these tough stockmen and women not have it any other way? Bestselling author Evan McHugh gets into his four-wheel drive to find out. Given special access to these properties, Evan goes behind the scenes in the dead heart of Central Australia. Following in the footsteps of the pioneering greats, Evan reveals the fascinating history of these outback stations, and what it takes to work on one today.
