Gongn to Australia. Am a Texan and would like to see some of your cattle stations. Advice please?


I am a real rodeo and country music fan. I know a lot of
Australians share the same recreations. Give me some good advice where to go and when to go. I am currently in Guam and am not going to miss the chance to visit.

A lot odf stations (what we call ranches) supplement their incomes by taking paying guests. One that comes to mind is El Questro in the Kimberly in Western Australia (or maybe Northern Territory). Another is a station near Kings Canyon in the real centre. There are many possibilities.

There are rodeo circuits in Australia. Do a search.

Another suggestionn is, if you are interested in visiting a non-dude station, to talk to your local cattleman's association back in Texas. They may have some leads for you.

Seriously, as you fly over the country, look down. You're pretty much flying over one at all times. Our largest cattle station is (literally) larger than Texas.
There are plenty of places in country New South Wales (NSW), our most populous state (some are only four hours drive from Sydney), but the biggest ones are in the Northern Territory.
