Chaos, cows and you little beauty!
As I trawl through the hundreds of photos I snapped during our week in Rockhampton for Beef Australia, I am hit once again at what an incredible feat of organisation and enthusiasm this event takes. … Not only are thousands…
Bovine Bonanza!

So much bull…and a little dust
