Transcript

00:00My name is Ben Robb, I'm a shearer from Jamestown, best tally is 215 and yeah, the best part

00:13about the job is keeping physically open here.

00:16So I'm Josh Cousins from Cousins Merino Services, so we're a small family business based out

00:21of Burra in the mid north of South Australia and we provide a range of sheep services across

00:26the state.

00:27Yeah, I'm Sean from Wood Trans, we're from Murray Bridge, this here is a 104B Aerodyne,

00:33we towed stock trains out of Lockton, yeah as I was a young fella I always wanted to

00:38drive trucks and yeah, Dad drove trucks and yeah, sort of just running the family.

00:47Best part about my job is without question the amount of different people that I get

00:51to meet.

00:52I know people in South Australia and interstate from all parts, from all different parts,

00:56from really past all low rainfall areas to super high rainfall areas and everywhere in

01:04between.

01:05Hello, I'm BJ, I'm Herd Manager here at Roslyn Amdina Jersey.

01:09Best thing about my job would be the job satisfaction, dealing with cows on a day-to-day basis, it's

01:15amazing, very friendly animals that we have here and I just, purely and simply the satisfaction.

01:20Hi, my name's Dave, I'm a volunteer with Operation Flinders as a team leader, I've been involved

01:25for about five years and Operation Flinders is an adventure therapy program up at Yankin

01:30Innestation over an eight-day period.

01:33A usual day for a team leader would be to get up around six o'clock in the morning,

01:37I get the kids making their own breakfast and packing up camp and then we navigate for

01:41about 10 to 14 k's until we get to our next campsite.

01:44Hello, I'm Pete Whittlesea from Mount Eber Station, I'm one of the co-owners of Mount

01:49Eber, we've been here for 2015, so we've been here nearly nine years.

01:55Some of the good things I guess I like are probably our campaign, so we have shearing

02:00and landmarking and crutching, so there's three major campaigns on the property.

02:04Hi, I'm Tessa, I'm a registered nurse under the primary healthcare team for the Royal

02:08Fine Healthcare Service, I've worked here for two years and my why for working with

02:13the RFTS is because I've always had a family connection with the RFTS, my family manage

02:18a station up north and have for the past 18 years and as a small girl on holidays I would

02:23help my auntie set up her little tin shed clinic down the road.
