As the son of a NQ shopkeeper, Noel Daley was never gifted a cent. After a taste of working on the property his brother managed near Cloncurry in North-West Queensland, he headed bush to make his fortune.

Noel spent years on stations in the North-West working his way up from ringer to Manager. Holidays were non-existent and on rare days off, he dabbled in the burgeoning campdrafting scene. He managed to snag himself a wife and start a family before scraping together the deposit to buy his very own place.

Hear Noel's incredible journey from ringer to owning a million-acre property on the Queensland Northern Territory border.
