Wullo River Station 30 - NT. (A mixed bag).

Station life is changing, the end of tourism is here, the final guests have left for 2021,staff are moving on & holidaying after 7 months, cattle work is mainly feeding, with some weaners still to sort.

The weather is getting extremely warm now, with some cloud.

                                      
                                                              Pamper Party.........

Looks like a scary movie to me.

Erin even joined in.

My boss is scary.

I reckon I should get a pay out for this!

Next was our end of Season party, we stayed at the Kimberley Grande for 2 nights, free drinks from the bar, plenty of cocktails were enjoyed. We had a great meal, with a slide show of Joe-Lean. A slide show of all the team. The following morning we had a cruise at 7am on a party boat on the Ord River.

Some staff may be a little hung over.

We did all get to have a swim behind the boat.

Pack down of the guest wing & homestead is done. We had the Evans sweat shop happening, with Steve sanding furniture and me staining. It all looked great when it was done.

Directors chairs, stools & so much more.

Fire pit chairs, umbrella stands, it just keeps coming.

Looks so good when done.

After patching, I always add my little trade mark! lol

In my spare time I patch the girls jeans (Ringers), I am not very good at hand sewing, however it will help them make it to the middle of November.

Next up we needed to do a kill as we were running low on beef.

Erin trying to get the cow to bleed out quickly.

The hand print of the killer.

We have a time frame of 45 minutes to bone the cow out and 15 minutes to get it back hanging in the fridge. Plenty of us today, with the ringers all trying to learn the cuts.

I only help skin.

Me skinning.

Catherine is straight into it.

Erin & Ainslee into it.

Me on the ute putting the meat in the esky.
