Testimonials

For almost 7 months I had the chance to work at Argylla cattle station in 2015-2016. It was a dream come true and a once in a lifetime experience for me that I will never forget. I can still miss sitting on the horse back tailing cattle, sleeping in a swag, the yard work and even the fencing. That place taught me a lot of things. I learned to love the heat, dust and flies and even if it was hard work, I loved it. I also had the coolest boss and I will probably never have any cooler boss than Ian. Always so calm with the animals and a good storyteller. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work for Ian and Eddie and if I did not live on the other side of the world I would love to come out and give them an extra hand.
