The Australian Outback desert houses massive reserves of cobalt, manganese and gold – and is home to thousands of temporary workers in makeshift towns.
Deserts are the most haunting of all the Earth’s landscapes. Sometimes we think of them as vast empty spaces that dwarf and test our human spirit. But that view is wrong in so many ways.

My dad (RAF) was seconded to the RAAF to Maralinga, Woomera, and also Christmas Island for the nuclear weapons testing during the 50s and 60s. All the protection from radiation they got was dark glasses and photo negatives, and told to wash their shorts and singlets after viewing the Christmas Island tests. He said the ELDO rockets mostly fell over at the launch pad. He said the Nullabor was nothing but goannas and spiders. But Adelaide was gorgeous.
Don't let the white man take your land like what was done to the American Indians
🕊🤗🕊
I'm never eating beef again now. I really hope this is just really outdated and that they don't really treat animals like that anymore, at least!
It’s a shame what modern man is doing to the outback of Australia, destroying it for momentary greed. We should be looking to the aborigines to learn how to live on the earth.
Mustering in summer….. Yeah…right.
What scares me must is Australia, is full of Australians!!.
THIS COMMENT IS BASED ON MY OPINION ONLY. Don’t like it, keep scrolling! Well, once again, I choose a video to see the beauty of the Outback. Instead I see a narrated version of the White man’s greed on display by the enslavement of beast. One farm with enough beef to ship globally. Largest farm in the world. And I bet the Indigenous of Australia do not own that section of their native land NOR do they run the farm.😔
Earth could be called heaven.
what about talking about the real australians not european descendant (immigrant ) who left europ

This was & is a bloody well put together insight to Australia .. many thanks . from Quilpie ..
Anna Creek Station tem uma área de 23.677 km 2 (9.142 sq mi; 5.851.000 acres) [3] que é ligeiramente maior do que Israel .

É mais de sete vezes o tamanho do maior rancho dos Estados Unidos , King Ranch no Texas , que tem 3.340 km 2 (830.000 acres; 1.290 sq mi). [5] A partir de 16 de dezembro de 2016, a estação é de propriedade da Williams Cattle Company, uma empresa familiar que comprou Anna Creek da S. Kidman & Co , dobrando sua área total sob arrendamentos pastorais . O município mais próximo é William Creek (que é cercado pela estação Anna Creek), mas a cidade mais próxima para frete é Coober Pedy .
Anna Creek Station has an area of 23,677 km 2 (9,142 sq mi; 5,851,000 acres)[3] which is slightly larger than Israel.

Love this….. So why is that woman wearing western clothes
How are the steaks!?!
Spot the draco biggest crimes against humanity subscribe today ✌❤
Did 15 minutes of cattle herding and that was enough.
I have travelled around this area quite a few times and it never fails to fascinate me. Had many a meal at the William Creek pub as well. Interested to know what the girls were doing with the drumming on their legs etc. They were certainly having a good time.
loved the outback of Australia
I want to go party with them!
Mis treating the animals by beating them with rod while loading them in truck. Very inhuman attitude. Had we have treated animals like this the animal protection organisation would have made loud hue and cry 😢 but here they are silent
What an extraordinary example of to do about nothing for the first 3 minutes, let's see how this goes.
Surly 4/5 of the mainland. Does anyone EVER edit these videos?
