Country Breakfast

In the last in this summer series of A Country Breakfast we're off to a special children's writing workshop in far north Queensland; clamber on board a bulk carrier berthed in the Pilbara; meet the volunteers who keep the ski slopes safe in winter and 12-year-old Georgia Auricht who rides pet cows, not horses.

We saddle up for the annual saltwater muster in Tasmania; young Aborigines connect with their land and customs in north Queensland; researchers control European carp; and meet punk rocker and farmer Ross Knight.

We trap foxes and feral cats at Uluru; chickens protect Victoria's borders; and classical music comes to the outback. Crowd funding helps pig farmers; and we watch high flying action at the Casterton kelpie muster.

The Apsley community celebrates the grand re-opening of their pub; we travel the Barkly Highway in the Northern Territory; and meet a singing stockman. Failed racehorses find a new life in the show ring; and we find out how landholders have coped with on-going drought in NSW and QLD.

All aboard for a steam train ride on the wilderness railway in Tasmania's wild west; we visit an archaeological dig on the banks of the Murray River in Victoria; meet the crew who shear the Wartaka mob in South Australia's Gawler Ranges; and chat with shearers' cook Elva Barker about feeding the hungry team.
