Backlit by the golden hues of a Queensland sunrise, a skilled stockwoman guides her horse through a cattle feedlot near Goondiwindi. Dressed in a vibrant blue long-sleeve and safety helmet, she navigates the muddy pen with practiced ease, her pale horse moving quietly among a herd of sleek black cattle. The early morning light casts long shadows across the packed earthen yard, highlighting the intricate fencing and distant treeline that frames the expansive agricultural landscape. Her green-and-blue reins suggest a purposeful connection between rider and mount, embodying the resilience and expertise of women in Australian agriculture. The scene captures a quintessential moment of rural work - calm, controlled, and deeply connected to the land, with the soft pastel sky promising another warm summer day in Queensland's agricultural heartland.
