Backpacking to Outbacking!

So this is just a quick message to all those we havnt managed to get hold of. The story is that we are on a cattle station. It has no phone , tv or radio so the rest of the world has been a mystery. We are 200km from the nearest town and the neighbours fly in via planes and hellicopters. it is certainly different to st marys and bromyard.
It is amazing though.... i have accomplished a childhood dream and am a real life cowboy! Mustering 100s of cattle! Ashley has been mastering her off road driving (there are no roads) and drives the big tractors. She and I also have butchered cattle and pigs (little gory i know). The wildlife is amazing everywhere you look there is something new.
Which btw....I did shoot a 7 foot kangaroo (very proud of that)...(they are a major pest here like rabbits or raccoons in uk and canada)!
But the station lifestyle is great, looks like we are taking a road train with some of the animals soon....over 50 meters in length!
There is so much to tell you but i literally have no time this connection only comes on for few mins at a time!! will update later;
we are safe and loving it!!
