We are alive and cooking!

This is just the briefest of notes to let you all know that we have landed (in the middle of nowhere). A flying start, hitting the ground running, jumping into the deep end of the pool - it is all of the above. The Coddiwomple Bicycle Tour feels like a ride in the park at this point. 

We have been warmly welcomed by the entire crew here at Avon Downs. And given how young the team is, Louise has already nicknamed us "The Agony Aunts".

A couple of important notes: we DO NOT HAVE mobile phone reception out here! Unfortunately all your beautiful and encouraging text messages will end up in digital nirvana. But we do have internet access (most of the time). Shortly we can also be contacted via the landline which is 08 8964 5551 (same time as South Australia). 

If you would like to know a little more about where we ended up, please find following a brief introduction into the Avon & Austral Downs Station duo. Avon Downs and Austral Downs Stations

Mail is delivered once a week by plane - on an airstrip 6km from the station - and is, of course, most welcome and will always be most appreciated. The mailing address is Louise and Kerstin, c/o Avon Downs Station, PMB 40, Mount Isa QLD 4825.

Thank you all for your many good wishes and thoughts. Believe me, we needed them all. 

But we are off to a good (pressure cooker like) start. 

We have arrived.

Accidents happen

It's slow going writing this particular blog post as I am doing it with only one functional hand.  After almost 7000kms on the bikes, injury found me while running.   I wish I had a fantastic story to tell, but I simply tripped on a rocky trail and fell over.  You know that meme that goes "If you want to know if you're old fall over.   If people laugh you're still young,  if people panic then you're old!"  I can confirm, I am definitely old! It probably didn't help that two of my fingers were quite obviously either dislocated, broken or both.   I begged Kerstin to remove my wedding ring before the finger started swelling, being three hours from the hospital I was imagining the worst case scenario of the ring tourniqueting my finger and its subsequent death and amputation.  Poor Kerstin, this kind of thing makes her faint, but she gritted her teeth and pulled off the ring.  I then gritted my teeth and asked the ex-army maintenance guy to try and relocate my

Learning a new language

There's plenty of things I anticipated learning when we accepted the positions at Avon Downs.  I thought I'd learn a lot about cooking for groups, about different cuts of beef and how to prepare them.  Maybe some stuff around the logistics of running a community which is 260km from the closest centre, and even then, its still Mt Isa... But I didn't really expect to learn a new language.  To be fair, I haven't spent a lot of time in the Territory.  But they really do speak their own dialect here.  Much different from costal Queensland, which is a slower, relaxed kind of Australian drawl.  Here it's fast, brief and usually mumbled.  I think I spent the first month constantly asking people to repeat themselves, answering the phone is always a diabolical risk.  And trying to understand the radio chat, impossible! Then there is all the slang and local shorthand.  To be fair some of the slang I suspect has been created by the Ringers themselves, as they are on their own l

Generation Z's perspective

Q:  "Which is more important, the journey or the destination?' A:  "The company." Introducing the team at Avon Downs Station.  This video was made as part of a competition between AACo Stations for the Employee Challenge.  It's a great way to show the outside world what life on Avon looks like.  It will change your perspective on who works on Cattle Stations. There is a lot to be said for keeping company with Generation Z.  The stockcamp (the staff who do all the stock work) are all aged between 16-23 years old.  We feel pretty privileged to be given access and insight into their world.  They are generous when asked for explanations of everything from the work they do, to how the social system between them as individuals, as a team and as a Station works.  I'm pretty sure the education is going both ways!  If you want to be reassured about the future, then I recommend spending some quality time with it.
