  • Great stories but..

    Some lovely stories but really does hark back to some awfully racist times with minimal acknowledgement or empathy. To hear the guest and interviewer make light about indigenous people being chained together and walked for days as if they were animals was pretty awful.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tony and Pam Davis - Red Centre Reflections
Q: What have both of you learned from managing country in such different regions?
In the southern country, you can pretty much manage it as you please because it will always rain, but here in Central Australia, you have to let the land dictate the management style.
Tony and Pam Davis - Red Centre Reflections
Q: What did you learn about managing different types of land in Central Australia and other regions?
You have to listen to the land; it tells you how to adapt your manage your cattle based on its nature.
Di Martin - Red Centre Reflections
Q: How do you, I guess, navigate something like that when you don't know how long it's going to be?
I just went day by day basically. That kept the stock we had left alive.
Di Martin - Red Centre Reflections
Q: How important do you think it was for you to go back to full-time work and have that off-farm income to be able to put back into the business?
That was really important because we had kids at boarding school.
Di Martin - Red Centre Reflections
Q: What were you thinking when you had applied for a job in the territory? Did you think you were going to be in town or were you applying for a remote position?
I wanted a remote because I don't like living in towns and things, and it was only going to be six months, and then I planned to do more traveling.
