We all have that one friend who is a total larrikin – and for the people of Central Australia, that friend is Ben Hayes.

Ben is the fifth generation of the Hayes family on ‘Undoolya Station’, the oldest pastoral lease in the Northern Territory. And while being a steward of the land  and active member of his local community comes with countless responsibilities, Ben doesn’t let them weigh him down or get in the way of having a bit of fun.

In this episode, Ben shares yarns from throughout his life and as you’ll come to see, while his heart is made of pure gold, there’s always room for a little mischief to be made!
