In our last episode, Garry Riggs shared yarns from his early days growing up on cattle stations in the 60’s and 70’s. This episode is the second part of that conversation, and let’s just say I was not expecting to hear about lions, or UFO’s… but, as we heard in part 1 – Garry’s childhood was anything but ordinary. I’ll be heading out to Lakefield Station over the wet season to record more of Garry’s story, so stay tuned for more episodes. To start this episode though, Garry recalled just one of the times he’s been bitten by a snake…See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Garry Riggs (Part 2) - Snakes, Lions, and a UFO in the Kimberley

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’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’s the simple wonder of living in an amazing landscape, but also the downside: the ravages of flood, fire and drought.

And always there’s the inherent danger of isolation – 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 – and why many wouldn’t live anywhere else.
