Kristie dePledge - Never stop learning

Why would a young woman who was raised on sheep and cattle stations, go off to ag college before entering the workforce? Surely, she already had a lifetime of experience, and the station work courses were designed for people who had never set foot on a station before.

Well, the answer is, that no matter who you are, where you’ve been, and what you know – there’s always more to be learnt.

This is the essence of today’s episode with our guest Kristie dePledge. Kristie and her husband Rory own the Koordarrie Station, situated on the Pilbara coast in Western Australia. Kristie was one of the original contributors to the Central Station website, and you can find some of her stories in our book too.

In this episode, Kristie shares parts of her story, including working away from home, meeting her husband, raising a family, and building a cattle station from scratch.
