Ashley Dowden - Triumph after tragedy [Repost]

True stories from the Australian Outback, told by the people who live them. Meet the men and women who live and work on some of Australia&rsquo;s most remote cattle stations. There are tales of mustering, stock camps, working dogs, rogue cattle and hard bloody yakka, but also the fun of a bush wedding or kicking back at a rodeo. There&rsquo;s the simple wonder of living in an amazing landscape, but also the downside: the ravages of flood, fire and drought. And always there&rsquo;s the inherent danger of isolation &ndash; times when the Flying Doctor came to the rescue, but also times when lives have been tragically cut short. These compelling true-life stories show what outback life is really like &ndash; and why many wouldn&rsquo;t live anywhere else.
