Anthony McNamara - The Ringer with a reputation Central Station - True Stories from Outback Australia

    • Personal Journals

Imagine this: you're fresh out of high school in the city, and you manage to land a job on Newcastle Waters - one of the largest and most prestigious cattle stations in Australia. But... you don't know where it is, or what even happens on a cattle station. You've definitely got no experience. Well, that's ok, because there's a two week induction training at the rural college in Katherine before you start work. So, sure - you're already a little bit on the back foot, being the city kid with no experience - but nothing that can't be overcome.
However, by the time you get off the bus from the rural college to the station, you've managed to get yourself a court date in town in a couple of weeks. Now, you have to tell the station manager - a man you've never met before.
This story could have turned out so different, and we are so proud to be able to share it with you.
