Sheep farming and the daily routines of stockmen, drovers, ringers and even poachers are integral to the history of Outback western Queensland. After several years of unbroken drought, Duncan and Anna Watts’ few thousand sheep and cattle represent less than a third of the ‘normal’ carrying capacity of their 168, 000 acres (68, 000 hectares) of semi-arid woodland. Wild goats – and discerning tourists – provide new cash crops.
