In 1987 a mechanic found a baby boy abandoned on the streets in Brazil. 

 

Today, that baby boy is a grown man living and working on a cattle station in the Northern Territory, Australia. 

 

“Blessed”, is how Chico Shaw describes his life. A life that could have turned out so differently.

 

In this episode Chico shares the story of his adoption into a family from Bondi beach, how he ended up working on a cattle station in the Gulf of Queensland, and the challenges and adventures that that experience entailed.

 

Make sure you tune in next week for part two to hear Chico share more yarns about his time working up north, why he left the industry for almost a decade, his challenges with anxiety and depression, and how he’s come full circle to find love and build a life that truly makes him happy.
