Mustering and BrandingBy GirlfromtheBush ·
"The Camp" muster for this round normally lasts 5 days. Four days to muster the creeks, one of which is mustered twice and two creeks are done on the second last day by sending a couple of people up one creek and a couple down the other.
This photo was taken from the back of my horse on the second last day. We always steady the cows and calves out from the holding paddock to ensure the calves are mothered and to maintain herd manageability.
This year long hot days were endured, at a guess every day was at least 40C, with the day we mustered Serocold Creek being well in the mid forties. We are lucky that mustering Serocold only takes half a day giving the cattle (plus humans and dogs) plenty of time to cool down.
Every muster is different, and every year I learn my way better, and every year I appreciate just how lucky I am to have this experience a little bit more.

Hard Yakka.By Cynthia
I took this photograph during a visit to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast. This bloke showed amazing skill and great fitness during this sheep shearing demonstration, which had the audience totally captivated. A very physically hard way to earn a living!

The Three Sisters of Carisbrook StationBy Chris Dalton · · From Snapped: Australian Landscapes
We stayed for several nights on Carisbrook Station back in June 2011 in an old Queenslander. It was so quiet out in the middle of no where. It was actually hard to get use to the silence at night, no street lights, no radio or TV. Definitely not hard to wake up to the birds in the morning.
We went on several tours of the property, and were able to photograph the Three Sisters on Carisbrook Station. They have names - all starting with 'M', but I just can't remember them.
Beautiful countryside.

Pigeon House Climb, South CoastBy Kylie Emans · · From Snapped: Your Top 3 in 2014
Decided to work off some excess Christmas kilos with an early morning climb up the steep Pigeon House Mountain on the South Coast with my 70yr old dad who smashed it and me!
We passed 72 people doing same thing but only 6 ahead of us as we started early to avoid summer heat.
This photo taken at the top of the mountain.
