Cattle prices may have crashed, but the drovers keep on moving in outback Queensland

 

Dust fills a cloudless blue sky as 2,000 head of cattle slowly move down a narrow dirt road in outback Queensland.

Drovers on horseback gently walk alongside and behind the herd, and working dogs help to keep the cows moving in the right direction.

The quiet outback scene is interrupted only by the shuffle of hooves on black soil, a message over the two-way, or an occasional whistle to the working dogs.

It's a scene you'd expect to see in an old western movie, but this is modern cattle droving.

All prices are on the rise here. :lol:
 

I haven’t had a decent steak in a long time. I refuse to pay the prices stores are charging. 
 

I have decided that when I grow up I want to move to Australia and be a cattle drover. :D
