18 July 2016 - Day 107 - Pardoo Station

We said goodbye to Alan, Sophie and the girls and drove another few hundred kilometers to Pardoo Station.

Pardoo Station is a working cattle station that has a caravan park at the back of it.  We had been looking to stay at a station stay for sometime.

When we arrived there were 100's of head of cattle in holding pens waiting to be loaded onto a truck for transportation in the morning.


The boys got to feed the cattle thru the fence and we watch them sort them out into groups as to who was staying or going.


When they did the muster a few weeks earlier 4 baby calves had been seperated from their mothers so they were in a different pen and had to be hand fed.  The boys loved this and fed them in the afternoon and the morning before we left.

We were also lucky enough to watch the farmers load all the cattle onto the truck in the morning.


 The boys are becoming professionals at opening and closing gates.



We had a great time at Pardoo and could have stayed longer.
