Our Story
Our story begins where all good stories begin, sitting around the kitchen table, catching up with family and friends, and sharing the day that was or the day to come. Sometimes we even exaggerate with theatrical flair or deliver a well-versed story with a touch of comedic expression that makes the story sound new and refreshed.
It matters not that the story has been told and retold, what matters, is it is remembered, after all, history is nothing if not a collection of moments captured in a story. And so we share our story with you.
The story of the “Great Brown Land, its people, its landscapes, its animals, and its environment. That is our story, a moment captured, a time remembered, a people and place that is like no other. Indigenous, pastoralists, explorers, men, women and children, animals, and environment co-existing, succeeding, failing, living, and dying, they all have a story to tell, and it is our great honour to be the custodians of these stories and share them with our visitors.
Hear first-hand the recollections from our extensive oral history collection, transcribed diary entries from those that cut a living from a harsh environment, the changing seasons that brought heartbreak or great wealth and success. “It was the bush that built the cities”, is not a throwaway line uttered once and forgotten, it is steeped in truth, and it is captured in Australia’s history books forever.
Living in the Australian bush is not always easy, even today the challenges of distance and environment continue to shape the people who call it home. The stories captured and retold at the Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame are our country’s history. Today we capture stories for tomorrow’s history, a generational conversation continues where the names and times may be different but where the stories remain as compelling and inspirational as they have always been.
Take some time to experience this history and share it around your kitchen table.
We care about sustainability and regenerative practices. We are continually working to improve our environmental performance and work practices that allow us to deliver a brilliant experience with limited environmental impact.
