Description: This book includes photos taken across northern Australia on many of the largest and most famous cattle stations. The locations of these stations include Queensland's Cape York Peninsula, Gulf and Channel Country; the Northern Territory's Barkly Tableland, Victoria River Districts and Alice Springs districts, and Western Australia's beautiful Kimberley region. Images range from aerial views of vast outback landscapes to dusty mustering action, dogs at work and contemplative evening stockcamp scenes - to windmills & bores, homesteads and gardens, bush racing and rodeos. Horses are still essential for mustering cattle on most of these huge stations so stock horses - working and resting - are included in the majority of images.
