Re: Stupid questions from non-natives (Part Four)

Nobody I know calls them ranches here (I'm thinking stations? same thing?). I know a few of the larger properties have helicopters or light aircraft (usually if they run cattle or sheep and have too much land to find them on foot). We have 47 hectares, which is 116ish acres, so I check the fences, water pumps, and move the cattle on foot with my dog or on my horse, sometimes I take the ute (er. pickup if you are from the states) if I have heavy stuff to move. Unless my brother has it, in which case, I lug 25kg bags of feed across a kilometer long paddock and over a creek with no bridge using my arms, because the wheelbarrow doesn't like the creek (and on those days, I hate my life). I wish we had a helicopter. I would seriously sell my soul for one.

Yes, sorry, stations. It's ranches here, cattle or sheep or horse. And most of the working ones that I know, the ranchers and cowhands herd and drive the cattle on horseback and often have dogs that help with the herding. Then again, there are some huge ranches and some very rich ranchers out there, so they could use helicopters, but loud flying machines plus animals that could get spooked just seemed like a weird combination to me.
