Chapter 6 “Geez, give me a heart attack, why don’t you,” Danny said when he finally saw me standing in the room, looking around. “Sorry, I did knock but received no response, so I walked inside,” I said to him, “That’s ok mate, I just have to get used to having more than just me around, that’s all” Danny replied smiling, as he finished serving up three plates of cold meat and salad. Lance walked in a few minutes later, and dropped down into a chair, while I followed suit, as Danny m

Chapter 5 “About a four-hour drive, 330 kilometres East of here by road, via Wubin, 145 kilometres due east as the crow flies,” Lance replied. “Holy cow, when did all this happen?” I responded. “Apparently, Uncle has been negotiating a deal on the purchase for a month or so, and that the settlement took place on Friday just gone. He says it is 420,000 acres in area, with just a 350-metre driveway off the main highway. The station has a three-bedroom homestead, shearing shed and yard

Chapter 4 “I will come with you,” Jacob said, as he zipped up his jacket, as the temperature had dropped a lot in the past half an hour or so, and with Lance following, we headed towards the main rodeo arena, to check there first before going towards the main oval. When we saw a tall solid build man and two teenagers approaching out of the darkness after about twenty minutes of searching, I began to relax, when I recognised Thomas and Logan, but we heard Lance swear behind us, “Shit, coppe

Chapter 3 "G' day, welcome to the Mullewa Muster and Rodeo, name of Competitors please" the bloke at the gate asked when we pulled up at the entry gate. "G' day, the name is…", "Harry Alpike, good to see ya mate," a loud voice said, from somewhere nearby, and I soon saw an old friend, Lance Atkinson approaching, who I hadn’t seen since high school. “G’day Lance, what are you doing in this neck of the woods?” I asked as I stuck my hand out the window, and Lance shook it vigorously. “I

Chapter 2 "Bonnie is all set for tonight, she has her rug on and I have fed and watered her," Logan said breaking the silence after a good few minutes. "Thanks, mate, so no camping trip eh" I replied, "Nah, the weather wasn't going to be very good, and one of the guys was being an ass, which was really pissing me off, and making me regret deciding not to come with you" Logan replied. "Will you be ok to be my groom, when I am preparing and finishing the competition?" I asked my brother, "

Chapter 1 “Right Mum, I am off now, see you in a few days’ time” I called out, as I headed towards the back door of the family home on the South East outskirts of Perth. “Ok dear, take care and drive carefully” Mum called back, “Will do Ma, and thanks for putting up with me, this past few years, I do appreciate it and I love you” I said at the doorway, and I stopped to look back at Mum, who had tears welling in her eyes. Seeing this, I dropped my bag, rushed to her, and wrapped

“Coral Bay, isn’t that were they had a cyclone that went over them recently?” Tim asked, and I chuckled at this. “You are right about the cyclone going over the coast, but it went straight over the top of the station, as a category 5, and that is one experience, I don’t want to deal with ever again” I replied. “Wow, I didn’t know it was that strong, we have had cyclones here sometimes, but no higher than a category two, that must have been really scary” Tim said. “Yes, it was, but w

“Yes, I will leave as soon as I am off the phone, thank you” Davis replied, and as soon as the call ended, we started making plans. The boys could use my room, as it has two double beds in it, and I quickly packed up my things, said goodbye to Davis and Alistair, and caught a taxi to another hotel, and with their hotel located near the botanical gardens at the south end of the CBD, I called ahead and booked a room at a hotel at the north end of the CBD. Near the Roma Street Parklands. O
