These guys are amazing. Frank should be awarded the Order of Australia for his work with disadvantaged kids. He is doing more than most to close the gap between Aboriginal Australians and the non aboriginal population.
100% agree
I agree, someone should nominate him next year
I had a few Aboriginals work for me on my property. They taught me a few things and were my best workers. Every 3 months, I would take 95% of my staff to town for a few nights and let them blow off some steam, but the aboriginal workers never wanted to go to town. They used to say Ms boss Lady you give us everything we need so you take the other's and we look after the farm. Man, I miss been out bush. We were all in tears when I had to sell up, but I am still in contact with them all, and they still call me Ms Boss Lady.
May ask what were you growing on the farm?
@OutbackLife656 I had cattle, pigs, chickens, and crops.
Indigenous, Aboriginal, first nations people, blackfellas...there are many names to go by.
P.s blackfellas is a well used term used by Aboriginals & whitefellas for decades...& my Mrs is 'blackfella'. Her father is a Vietnam vet & OBE. Great fella👍
🖤💛❤🇦🇺
✌️
Yep, nothing offensive meant or taken by using the term blackfella, same as I'm a whitefella.
I'll shake their hands, share a meal and do what I can to help them, same as they'd do for me.
It's just the Australian way to see "a person of X skin colour".
Kinda like saying, "go to the corner of the street and look for a person with a beard".
@@35manningyes and no. Depends on the context and intention. It’s most certainly used by some in a racist context. Growing up in the country, the word was used in my town in a very derogatory way.
I know Borroloola quite well and I had the pleasure of meeting Willy Shadforth in 1996. He was a legend and I'll never forget what he said. Fun fact, Seven Emus cattle station is 2,092 square kilometers in size = 516,944 acres. Thats right half a million acres. Seven Emus station is south east of Borroloola and has quite a bit Gulf of Carpentaria frontage, which means excellent fishing.
Wild bulls can also spread nasty disease among herds.
I grew up on Manangoora station 😁
@@petermulhall485 Fabulous. I spent 20 yrs fishing at KAB.
@@petermulhall485Peter you must have some wonderful memories from growing up there and many adventures too numerous to mention.
You mentioned repairing the vehicles and if they had to do it themselves. The nearest big town with any sort of pro mechanics and equipment would be Katherine with a population of 6300. So, yeah, they do all the repairs themselves.
On that note all the stations have pretty much a fully equipped workshop anyway
Probably better than Katherine. Hehe
I'm just glad the feral bulls are being caught up, they're really damaging to the environment- they're not meant to be there at all.
So glad that these lads are having their lives turned around - a whole new, positive life ahead of them!
They are leftover from the settlers been here over 200 years
You know it’s a “cattle station” right?
They’re not cleaning up the leftovers, they breed them and let them run over the station then round them up for sale.
I believe you meant the feral water buffalo that is causing a problem, in the NT not cattle . They eat a hell of a lot leaving little for the native wildlife and they trample the soil which in turn spreads the weeds across the land. The feral camels are a pest too but that's another story.🦘🦘🦘
In the Australian context, the terms Aboriginal and indigenous are not quite identical. The Oceanic Aboriginal peoples are indigenous, but are not the only people indigenous to Australia. The Melanesian Torres Strait Islanders are also indigenous, and comprise about 30,000 of the million or so indigenous Australians.
1st nations is a North American term also. That million indigenous figure is fabricated..300 thousand at best ..too many fake claims. DNA testing needs to be implemented
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics there are just over 40,000 Aboriginie's in mainland Australia, almost entirely in WA and the NT. There are a small number of tribes in QLD and SA. There are no Aboriginie's in NSW, Vic or Tasmania. In addition there are 930,000 people's who identify as having an Aboriginal heritage or identify as Aboriginie's even though they have no connection to the race. The 40,000 tribal people who remain have native title to 54% of the Australian mainland and that control extends to the wealth under their feet amounting to trillions of dollars. That makes Australia's tribal Aboriginie's not only the largest land owners within a country in the world they are also the wealthiest. Of the multi billion dollar budget for Aboriginal welfare 70% is spent on the east coast.
MY SON DID THIS ON MT HOUSE STATION ON THE GIBB RIVER ROAD. HE WAS A LOT YOUNGER THEN AND LOVED IT
Went to Mt House many years ago, the Kimberly Region is a must to visit.
"Not the craw, the craw". Mad Max did his learners licence in one of these.😊
LandLine is an Australian T.V show that has some amazing stories and always makes me proud to be Aussie.
Great program Landline
I love how laid back they are the whole no worries, mate attitude so Australian!🤠
The field littered with trees is called scrub.
The Shadforth family on Seven Emu station are the nicest people you could ever meet, they work hard to turn troubled young fellas into handy and well respected stockmen that, after training, could get a job on any station, such is the standard of their experience and willingness to work hard the Shadforth family are legends in the Territory and should be rewarded for what they have achieved
ABC's Landline is a program looking at people who live in Rural and Regional people areas living on the land and also includes Aboriginal or Indigenous (same thing) stories.
In the story the first Aboriginal owner of this property bought the property after betting and a win on the biggest horse race in Australia 'The Melbourne Cup' which has been running every year since 1861. The property would most likely be as large in land size as some of the smaller states of US, such as Rhode Island with only around 20 full time staff, mostly family members plus some of the young teens they take on to help get away from a life of crime.
Great choice of a feel good story from 'Aunty' ABC.
The ABC's landline program is a great TV. Centres on life in rural Australia 🇦🇺.
It's always very different and informative.
7 Emus station is 2,092 sq kilometres = 516,944 acres. Which is not considered really big for the NT.
Rockhampton Downs and Brunette Downs are closer to a million acres each in the NT.
Grand dad had a couple of big wins on The Caufield and Melbourne Cups (big horse races) winning £10,000. Big money in 1953 and able to buy that cattle station.
5:00 Proppa Aussie slang there bruda.
I miss living in the outback
Ryan you asked
If indigenous and Aboriginals are the same !
They certainly are fella ,
Indigenous is a word lots of white people use to avoid singling out of different mobs of custodians !
I'm a white fella and I have more respect for the
Indigenous Australians
Because of the way they work and care for the land . Us white blokes can be a bit slow on the uptake !
Jake finlay..An Australian is one of America's most decorated rodeo champions 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 x USA champion
Patty Mills who played for the Hawks and now the Brooklyn Nets is Indigenous. Jesse Williams played for Alabama [Roll Tide] and the Seahawks before he retired due to cancer. I am sure there are others over there - probably some actors.
Yep, and I've also met in England, Bali. We all like to travel.
Ryan, I’ve been watching for a few years but …
This has to be the best video in regards to you actually ‘getting’ us and the indigenous people.
The First Nations 😊
Love your reactions 🥰
That was so good to watch you should do more of this...the people are fantastic to talk and listen to so gentle people..🇦🇺🇺🇸☮️
When I was younger I used to do this the most fun I've ever had at work more adrenaline than U can imagine
Back in the day, 1913, the famous circus trick rider Paddy Cahill was Chief Protector of Aborigines at Oenpelli. He had a famous horse called St Lawrence and they would gallop up beside the buffalo and spine shoot it. The buff would drop alive, but paralysed until the men arrived to do the business. It takes a lot of guts to get a horse that close to wild buff with horns around 10 feet across. There's a fabulous photo of Paddy and his horse in John Oxley Library etc.
They’re amazing watching shows like that, and the bush mechanics another great show.
Indigenous is less specific/more inclusive. Australia has two indigenous groups: the Aboriginals and the Torres Strait Islanders. Both are indigenous.
The usage of these words in this way is specific to Australia. The dictionary definition of Indigenous and Aboriginal are basically the same.
My Grandad used to do the helocopter mustering.
You would have loved the Leyland Brothers Show that use to be on here when i was growing up. They went all over outback australia showing us city people all the beautiful sites, people and places to go and see, with great discriptions.
Fencing to these lads means building a fence.
Ryan, if you want to see a couple of real bush adventures, the 1st channel is called "Black As" 2nd is "All For Adventure." Great Aussie Bush Adventures have a look mate 👍.
Thanks such fun to watch your reaction to we Australians
What an awesome job! I worked on the family cattle & sheep property during school holidays but not like this 😂 We used motorbikes mostly but I loved to use stock horses, nothing better. These guys are Stockmen, Jackaroos/Jillaroos. We don’t use the term cowboy really. Some of our best stockmen were Aboriginal, they were part of the family. My uncle did a stint on the Rodeo scene in roughstock events; Saddle Bronc Riding & Bareback Bronc Riding until his body told him to quit 😅 Great video✌🏼
When you couldn't understand rwhat was said, he was telling the story of how the property was bought with the winnings from a bet on the Melbourne Cup (horse race).
Scrub cattle are pure primal beasts and there is a fair share of mishaps with trees 🌳 stumps 🪵 termite mounds and long grass when they jump out in front of you cattle trees stumps etc.. can be a ripped off wheel or worse but all is fair and fun when chasing them down…
Ryan, the old British adjective "Aboriginal" refers in Australia to one national group of people from hundreds of different nations with a similar genetic heritage. Australia has TWO quite different Indigenous peoples, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, who are of Melanesian heritage like Papua New Guineans and many other western Pacific islanders. The adjective "Indigenous" can refer to those two groups either individually or combined. They are both of ancient African origin with other genetics mixed in, either from their long journey through so many other lands heading south-east, or of later mixed heritage, thousands of years before Europeans ever saw Terra Australis, the Southern Land.
You probably should have watched it all, to understand why clarrie is teaching young these skills.
Yea, skipping that part kinda annoyed me.
Agreed! I think many of us would rather have seen him paying close attention to information like this than choosing to jump forward as he did, especially through the part about the family helping young people who need a chance and way to improve the quality of their lives and their prospects for the future.
A Sixty minutes reporter in the late 1970s was in the Territory doing a story like this with a more solid metal arm for catching wild Buffalo. Now that is really scary.
G'day Ryan , here is a very short clip about mustering camels , its only a couple of minutes long. It features a British actor Robson Green who went on a muster to see how it was done , the helicopters flying was special . Well worth 2 minutes of your time , the actor has a series of outback Australia but I think this is SPECIAL ... Love your show , Elli .
Those are old BJ74 Landcruisers that have been heavily modified to replace most of the body with a steel cage. It's actually the safest way to muster wild bulls - originally they just ran into the animal to knock it over, but this is safer for both the bull and the stockmen.
Those old Toyota Landcruisers are not built like normal vehicles, and especially not modern vehicles. They're meant to take a beating and could be fixed in the field like a tractor. The fuel usage is horrendous in modern terms though, so it's the vehicle that every bushy wants but which no one wants to buy the fuel for. They do make sense for a special purpose vehicle like this.
A 'quid" is 1 Australian pound - old currency before 1966.
These vehicles are older model converted Toyota Landcruiser and or Nissan Patrol utilities, (pickups), they are very robust vehicles and are the most popular vehicles in the Australian bush, renown for their simplicity, reliability , robust chassis they are butchered to make them into these armoured bull catchers in station (ranch) workshops by station hands and 'bush mechanics' who can wield a welder and spanners with heavy steel from the station scrap yards.
Usually powered by 4.2 liter 6 cylinder diesels with protection for radiators, and front end 'bull bars to push heavy 'scrub' cattle the way you want while the 'catcher' comes alongside jamming the beast for a catch.
Cracking up at the hats. NY on one, Anaheim on another. 😂
i was gonna say, you should see how they used to do it, before he said he has it easier than his father. they had a platform or seat attached to the front or side and roped the bull from that with a pole. the bull or buffalo would be ramming the vehicle at the same time.
ABC, broadcasting since 1932, but based on an earlier company broadcasting from 1924. Fun ABC trivia. The postal address of the ABC in every capital city is Box 9994, which is a tribute to Don Bradman's cricket batting average of 99.94
We had 48000 acres and these Micky bulls were dangerous beasts . 3-4yrs old and never been handled or even seen a human their instinct is to charge in defender of their herd .
If you watch Australian Rodeo's our cowboys are just like the USA cowboys riding wild bulls ...
FYI, Patrick Mills is an Australian aboriginal. I believe he plays for Miami Heat in the NBA now
I was loving your take on this, as well your facial expressions but then, & all of a sudden you decided to,
JUMP 😮 FORWARD 😮
I wish you hadn’t. Was loving the video and your reaction 😊😊😊
I think many of us would rather see him paying close attention than choosing to jump forward as he did here (or constantly pausing and interjecting in the middle of words/sentences as he does in other videos, without then rewinding to check what he might have missed). It was a pity he skipped forward through the part of this one about the family helping young people who just needed a chance to make something of their lives.
@@ianwalker5842 I was thinking the same, Ian.
No idea why he thought jumping ahead, rather than making his own video a little longer was a good t. 🙄🤷♀️
C’mon Ryan !! 😃
This is why the Toyota Landcruiser is a legend..
One farm tried a couple of jeeps. But they fell apart.
"The all have perfect teeth" indigenous australians have have two layers of enamel.
There not eating all the sugary shit we do
The cars is not my favourite car brand but it is a Toyota. Very rare not to find a Toyota on an Australian outback property.
The car with a claw is called a bull catcher
good to see RYAN LEARNING A bit about our CULTURE>. proud of you mate, keep it up.. remember not to swim in those rivers up NORTH. cheers fella
At the 2000 U.S. Census, 60,965 Australian-born people were enumerated in the United States, of which 15,315 were citizens. Around 40% of Australian Americans had entered the United States before 1980.[5] Since 2010, a Little Australia has emerged and is growing in Nolita, Manhattan, New York City.[6] In 2016, the Australian Consulate-General estimated there were 44,000 Australians living in Los Angeles.
This method of capturing a bull is not synonymous to indigenous people. This is Crown land leased to an indigenous family, the Shadfords. Most of this land is owned by the Crown and also leased to non-indigenous people, and must be used according to its reservation status (eg farming purposes). The Shadfords are helping out younger indigenous people to get them back on track and earn a living. Good on them.
Should ask these blokes what they think of the Voice 😂
Yes I’d like to know their thoughts.
You need to lookup the bush mechanics another Aussie show😊
They aren't the only ones to use the claw & they didn't invent it.
Ryan you could come out and work as a jackaroo on a cattle station.
Paddy Mills -aboriginal basket ball player in NBL!
American UA-camr Baffled reaction to The Voice to parliament.Well
hell yeah! I'm an Australian man and I am completely baffled about The Voice parliament..
If you don't know... find out.
This is a bull catching rig commonly used on large cattle stations to catch wild bull "Mickey bulls" and also water buffalo. Not specifically an indigenous way is actually quite common in large cattle stations all over Northern Australia
Fun fact my uncle kal invented the bionic arm 🤷♂️
You should watch the series called the “ bush Mechanics “ these guys are amazing and very funny shows
landline is an ABC program very interesting about Australian farming principles The bush here is really bush
Reminds me of the film 'Hatari' with John Wayne.
Indigenous means traditionally owners of the land and aboriginal is a word that describes all indigenous peoples of there land as the first recorded owners
You should have a look at the television series on crocodile rescues. That is an awesome show where the blokes go out and catch crocodiles to relocate them to a safer place. They use helicopters to get the crocodile cages into the river and once they trap the croc they have to manhandle onto a truck to transport it somewhere else. I can’t remember the name of the series but just google crocodile rescues and it should come up.😊 wild croc territory is the series
All have perfect teeth coz they dont eat sugar
I had to smile when you said you were incapable of NOT reading captions. I have the same problem, particularly if there is a voiceover saying the exact same thing. I always turn UA-cam captions off because even if I am listening to the video, I can't stop myself reading and trying to keep up with the captions. Incredibly annoying...
"How come it seems like my car breaks down from hitting a pothole..."
You need to get a Toyota Hilux/Landcruiser. I sold my LC (a 1988 diesel model) to a cattle farmer about 10 years ago and he told me recently that it's still running just fine with minimal maintenance and over 700,000km on the odometer.
Indigenous -native to the country!
Ryan, go check out Bush Mechanics, its like a doco that follows 4 aboriginal and 1 white guy who are friends, its about there adventures in the bush and the cars they find, they get them into working & go on fishing, crocs hunts etc its pretty old but great to see a different side of life in the outback!
In the old day they mounted a tractor seat on the bullbar a person would sit on it with a long pole with a noose on the end and place over the bulls head all at about 40mph
and being rammed by the animal at the same time.
You should get you hands on the Leyland Brothers TV series.
11:26 Ryan the Australian Aboriginal people are the oldest civilization in the world.
Princes bass player was an indigenous Australian I think.
2.2pound =1kg
If you like unusual skill sets, try the very old movie Hatari, it's not pc any more, John Wayne, Red Buttons, and a girl named Cappucine? they were catching large and small animals for zoos. Without any claw on their vehicles, they didn't always win.
My cousin had a push-bike and a bush bike. The push bike was normal, to get to school on. The bush bike had no tyres so the spikes in the sand, on the road out to the mail-box on their property, could not flatten them. He had no seat either, he didn't get the chance to sit, it was hard yakka riding it in sand. An aquaintance in school from the outback put a drag-stripe on his bush car with tar, he painted straight from one bumper to the other, over the roof, including windscreen and back window. Then before it was set he was popping wheelies, it ended up with all sorts of stuff stuck in it, like clods of dirt and grass seeds etc. No matter how rusty, if it runs it can be useful. Yes farmers are the mechanics, my bro in law, would find out which part was needed, and sometimes his wife had to drive to brisbane to get it home before too much money was lost, because the semi or the prime mover, was on the fritz. Thousands in lost revenue daily. He dropped the blade from his lazer levelling, land-plane on the side of his foot. Messed it up pretty bad. He used to build dams as a teen, went on to build business car-parks, roads for sub-divisions, and land levelling for water management in agriculture, and remote air-strips. Worked the family farm and fixed machines and cars galore. At one stage he owned and ran the parts business for every type of vehicle, in his farming town. To get to town the road was long, so he'd use the dry river crossing, every now and then he'd take his grader through, with the blade down, it was so corrugated, and the town council, didn't do that often enough. He'd have to tighten all the bolts and screws in all the family cars, the fuses would also shake loose, and odd things would stop working.
“Outback Ringer” is a 2 season ABC series about people doing this.
11:23 Thursday 12Oct 2023. Hi Ryan. I love how you are amazed at our lifestyle. I suppose we are a bit different the way we do things but it’s mostly out of necessary . We get it done however we can. Kay xx
Thank you for watching this video.
Fencing - maintaining fences.
A bit of trivia for ya Ryan, the fastest dying languages in the world are First Nations people, there are places in the outback where only a handful or less speak languages that existed 40,000 years ago. It will be interesting to see what happens with the vote on the Voice mid October.
Ryan I have Mates that done this in the NT in the late 1980’s into the 90’s Toyota Land cruisers is what they Vehicles are hard job Hard People NT Tuff.
The setup on these vehicles isn't that different to what was used in Africa over many decades - if you watch any of the old safari movies or the big game hunters, that collected animals for zoos and wildlife reserves. The only exception was the helicopter.
Love Bush Mechanics! ♥️😂
My brother’s an ABC journalist in Darwin 😊
Hi Ryan, the show you're talking about is called Black As. It's pretty funny.
The term aboriginal basically means of this land. That's what these people are. It's the same with native people in America/ Canada. It's no different most people in Europe. You can be a white aboriginal, I am.
That's because we rebuild them every night❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
That was on a property near Injune. His press complaint was when they went to Noosa for a surf. He was 18 years old at the time. He enjoyed the mustering with only one photo call.
You might find them a bit hard to understand but remember with many of them English is their third or fourth language
Loved this video! You should check out All 4 Adventure if you haven't already, they have some pretty high octane videos of cattle mustering in the outback and bull catching :)
ua-cam.com/video/8B-zWxDJOZU/v-deo.html Also this one !!
Prince Harry tried this Jackeroo work in the outback but quit very quickly, he didn't want the press intruding - "in the outback"! 😏
any excuse is a good excuse.
Hey dude I think you got your own article on the Daily Mail.
Mad Max.😁
1kg is approximately 500gr so times it a out x2 . Otherwise look it up on the internet for the conversion
1kg is 2.2 lbs or 35 ounces.
We use these vehicles often Toyotas we call them bull catchers and used on cattle that either haven’t seen man before and or have no fear of motor bikes horses there for eluding capture ever year
Can you please react to snow in Australia, most people think it’s only hot here but on average Australia gets more snow than Switzerland each year
Yes but high in the mountains. D most Aussie don’t there it’s too expensive and a long way a way in you don’t live there
That's not just the way aboriginals do it, that's the same for all bull catching up north white and black.
You probably won't know how many Aboriginal people are in the US as everyone from Australia would have an Australian passport saying that they are just Australian and not say Aboriginal on it.
