Red dust muster
Ainsley Fuster (@ainsley.young.images), who lives and works at the family property ‘Boullia Station’ near Broken Hill in outback NSW, took this vivid photo of the red dust during mustering. Ainsley is a photographer of not only the rural lifestyle, but also of the food she bakes as part of her Station Pâtissière business (www.thestationpatissiere.com).
Wool bus seats are no mean feat
Fourth generation woolgrower Rod McErvale of Lexton in western Victoria, who set up Yalong Yarns and knitwear brand Leroy Mac Designs with his wife Rebecca, also owns the local school bus. When it recently had to be replaced, he arranged for the seats in the new bus to upholstered with wool blend fabric using 18.3 micron wool from his own farm. Pictured here is their daughter Isla on the bus at their farm.
