abc.net.au/news/back-roads-meets-outback-women-brunette-downs-brunchilly-station/101825490When 32-year-old Ashley Sutton heard her three-year-old son Paddy say, "Ouch", she was not initially concerned.
The terrifying scenario was made even more frightening by the fact Ashley lives deep in the Northern Territory outback on Brunette Downs Station with her partner and head stockman Billy Dakin.The vast and remote cattle property on the Barkly Tableland is a six-hour drive from the nearest major service centre, so Paddy was immediately flown to the closest town of Tennant Creek on the station's plane.
Ashley is studying a business degree online but during university holidays the family joins Billy and his team and camp in the bush for up to two weeks while mustering thousands of cattle."Paddy gets to go to work with Dad a fair bit, and gets to be on horses, around animals," Ashley says of station life."There's no time limit; he just gets to play all day out there.
A mobile playgroup service known as KICS attends outback events, stations and communities, and gives isolated kids a chance to get together.Toddler Paddy and baby Abbie join Mum, Dad and the mustering team.
