The story behind the image:

I just love sepia old images of back in the fay, a simple muster and yard up, deadly old cowboy hats, no fancy gear and a good ole bronc underneath you.

This is from easily the 70s this image, in the yards at Wangi Station. The tall woman is my Aunty Donna walking across the yards, The fella on the horse is Robert Townsend) the kids on horses the blondie is Aunty Theresa, Tony Izod and Freddy Corpus.

Retro as it gets, I reckon, no bikes, no choppers, hardly any adults, the kids did the work. I reckon that's what's missing in the world today, the kids doing all the hard work! Just saying! 

My dad's parents, Charlie Ray & Elsie lived at Wangi originally before Shilo. They had 6 kids, Maria, Bubba, Donna, Theresa, Robert and Modena. Wangi was a deadly balance of sandy country and wetlands. Creeks and floodplain and billabongs and wetlands, not like the marshy swamp on the Mary River, it was a lot better to muster on horses, but the Airboat still made its debut often with them bringing airboats from the states to muster the wetlands with.

There are so many yarns I could tell you, and many more my Dad and his sisters can tell you. I'm very proud of my heritage and am grateful I grew up as wild as I could in the 80s, before this generation of technology has been spoiled and robbed of the simplest things in life as growing up in the bush..
