team Burton

Day 8
Left early morning for our trip to Kroombit Cattle station which turned out one of the most action packed stop offs.
Did the usual stop offs for food along the way and had a few fact thrown at us by our driver. Arrived at the cattle station mid afternoon, which is about an hour off the coast so is in bush territory. Had a nice home cooked meal (beef as expected) which went down well then got involved learning how to be ranchers! Learnt how to crack a whip which we all managed to master, then all had a go on the bucking bull. All (except Amey) stayed on for a good while, and Lee won with the longest rodeo of the group. After that we played a few drinking games including bite the box which me Matt and Amey all won.


Day 9
The following morning we were up at 6 for breckie and then for more activities. I didn't but everyone else did clay pigeon shooting, and again Burton cleaned up, hitting 4 out of 6 each. then we did a goat rodeo where we had to catch a goat, flip if on the ground and brand it. Me, Matt and a cockney won with a tome of 60 seconds. After that we all did a goat roundup on horseback, where we rode around and gathered up all the goats and got them in a pen which was really good. My horse buttons was on best behaviour and looked after me! We left mid morning for the drive to Hervey bay and arrived there in the afternoon. Sorted out our accommodation and our 4x4 for Fraser Island then had a box of goon and played ring of fire before heading out for a disapointing night out...no where to go, nobody about.
