Stockman’s Hall of Fame

As the children slept, the brown falcons decorated the power lines, the small birds perched like strange fruit on bare trees and the silence of early morning in the outback was dominant. However it is the site of the sunrise filtering through the Sothern Cross and catches the stock horses shoulders that takes first prize.

The stockman’s Hall of Fame was as moving and enlightening as expected, but the horse show was brilliant.

I’ve seen trick horses before but never cattle

Early morning and evening explorations revealed the essence of Longreach, its equal beauty and harshness.
