He is 30 this year. Walks slowly, in the fading twilight of a life I am so grateful for. Had him before I had any family. Been everywhere with me. Won a bit of everything but mostly won friends. All 5 children learned to love horses on him. Comes for his feed night and evening.

Jacinta Price’s speech seems to have been very quickly swept under the carpet by the mainstream media. They are all about Albo’s ‘voice’.
What will be the point of a voice when the message is filtered and ears on the audience don’t work?

My eldest son is in his 2nd year on a cattle station about 600k away. His boss called today just to tell me he was going gangbusters. Proud of course, but also so grateful for the call. Feel guilty that with the hundreds of young people that worked for me I have never done that.

12 months for raping a 12YO. How long would he be inside if neither he nor the girl were indigenous and in any jurisdiction other than the NT? Do we give a s..t? How tf is the voice going to help people who need it when we don’t have the guts

We had 63mm at the house. Lot more elsewhere on the run. One neighbour had 127. Another had 139. Rest similar to us. Almost all neighbours creeks flood onto us. Great rain for our country.

I have been lucky to run and participate in some really special musters. This was one of them. When I marked out the yard the men all said ‘too big boss’. 6 Horsemen. 1 Bike. 2 Quads. 1 Helicopter. 3 days mustering. 2/3rds of this mob were cleanskins.

In the 70s my father (grey horse) riding off with a packhorse camp to muster the floodplain was usual. Often wouldn’t see or hear from him for months. He had pre-arranged meetings with Drovers to hand over the bullocks they had mustered to be droved to the Quilpie railhead.

I have spent my life with indigenous people as workmates, friends, mentors, and employees. Many I regard as family. I despair at the difficulties faced by so many in remote communities. I know the voice will not help them. It is for parasites, pretenders and bureaucrats.

In 1977 he rode behind cattle from Rocklands to Tanbar. Bareback. Unpaid. He couldn’t ride at all when they left. Drover gave him bullock fat with kerosene in it for his sores. Around 1000km in 14 weeks. He stayed with us until 1991. We grew up together. He is family. My brother.

Been 10 days up in our very rough country raking some bullocks and a lot of ferals together. We brought home nearly 2 decks of bulls. I am giving my gun ringers heaps because I got this one on my own and he was the biggest of the lot. But they all did very well.

I counsel my older sons regularly that they should never be drunk outside pubs and nightclubs after closing, and when drinking to always stick with mates they know have their back. I will counsel my daughter in time to stay out of similarly stupid situations.

I wonder how many sheep and cattle lost their lives prematurely due to panic caused by the ‘El Nino’ and ‘unprecedented’ drought predictions brought on by the woke media’s climate change agenda?
And how much harm that did to the producers due to the resulting collapse in prices?

And it was so good for the little ones. Starts at reasonable times and shorter musters and work than at home so they could participate non stop. And they did and loved it.

you have caused horrific division in our country with an appallingly thought out and managed initiative that you can’t even explain yourself. You could not have stuffed this up worse nor done more harm if that was your intent.

Thank you. We have many horses but he is a much loved family member. He did a lot of work in the first half of his life and that certainly lowers the age ceiling so we are very grateful to have had him this long.

‘Flood’ is an alarmist descriptor in the current ‘climate emergency’. We have historically used it to describe the natural irrigation of our floodplains but should use something else I guess.

This is the unit that followed the stock camp for all of my childhood and early years at Tanbar. The buncart. No refrigeration and only the wood fire for cooking. Carbide lights. Swags on the ground. Wash yourself in the creek if you yarded up in time and could stand the cold.

Produces a weaner every year. Lives in the toughest corner of the block by choice. We left her behind last year with the baby roan heifer, this year she is feeding both it and the new mickey. And was PTIC on time. 3 days walk to the yard and didn’t lose either calf once.
