Brahman cattle cluster around a water trough in the sparse woodland landscape of Adelaide River, Northern Territory. Rich autumn sunlight filters through scattered eucalyptus trees, illuminating the herd's diverse coat colors - from pristine white to deep mahogany and jet black. These heat-tolerant cattle, distinguished by their distinctive large humps and loose skin, drink deeply from the concrete trough, their muscular bodies pressed close together in the dry paddock. Red identification tags punctuate their ears, a practical marker of station management in this rugged pastoral environment. The scene captures the resilience of Australia's northern cattle industry, where careful water management is crucial for livestock survival in challenging seasonal conditions. Dusty earth, sparse ground vegetation, and the clustered movements of the cattle evoke the disciplined rhythm of remote cattle station life.
