A station hand tends to a large flock of Dorper sheep on a dusty central New South Wales station under a pale, overcast sky. Wearing a bright blue long-sleeved shirt and a wide-brimmed sun hat, the worker carefully manages a water trough surrounded by rusty red earth. A grove of sparse eucalyptus trees stands sentinel in the background, framing a dense mob of white and black-headed Dorper sheep - a breed prized for its adaptability to harsh Australian pastoral landscapes. Water trickles from the metal trough, creating a critical lifeline in this arid environment where every drop counts. The scene captures the quintessential rhythm of station life - methodical, resilient, and intimately connected to the unforgiving Australian landscape. Red dirt, bleating sheep, and the measured movements of the worker tell a story of daily survival and agricultural stewardship in the Murray Region's challenging terrain.
