About this image

Two stockmen on horseback muster a herd of Santa Gertrudis cattle along a dusty dirt road through expansive Victorian grazing country. The riders, wearing protective hats and working gear, guide the horses alongside the red-brown cattle as they move the mob across the sparse grassland paddock. The scene captures the traditional methods of cattle mustering still practiced across Australia's beef stations, with the wide open landscape and scattered vegetation typical of Victorian pastoral country stretching toward distant tree lines under partly cloudy skies.
