Publishers Description: Meet the men and women who live and work on some of Australias most remote cattle stations, as they share their stories. Have you ever wondered what its like living a days drive from the nearest supermarket Or having a million-acre backyard, with your next-door neighbours a two-hour drive awayThese compelling true stories from the popular Central Station blog will open your eyes to what outback life is really like - and why many wouldnt live anywhere else. There are yarns from bosses, station cooks, ringers, single mums, kids, governesses, chopper pilots and more, told with humour, self-deprecation - and pride in a job well done. There are tales of mustering, stock camps, working dogs, rogue cattle and hard bloody yakka, but also the fun of a bush wedding or kicking back at a campdraft. Theres the simple wonder of living in an amazing landscape, but also the downside: the ravages of flood, fire and drought. And always theres the inherent danger of isolation - times when the Flying Doctor came to the rescue, but also times when lives have been tragically cut short.A vivid, honest picture of outback life: the good, the bad - and the dusty!
