AUSTRALIAN STOCKMAN'S HALL OF FAME - WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE!
By: John Westbury - July 2011
While you travel around this great downunder, have you ever stopped to wonder what life must have been like for the early explorers and pioneers of the harsh and sometimes remote land of ours?
Things might have changed somewhat, but making a living out there isn't easy, not even today. But, let's step back a minute to the early days of our pioneers and settlers. There were no luxuries we have today; no electric kettles, microwaves, phones, computers, and not even a caravan. If you wanted to go on a trip then it was a matter of hitching up the horse and cart or dray and setting off to nowhere in particular.
While travelling around the outback of Queensland in our caravan I noted some of today's homesteads and cattle stations and remarked to my wife, "why would you live out here in the middle of nowhere?" But a lot of people just love the outback and wouldn't live anywhere else, and they will tell you that living in wonderful nature makes up for any hardship.
But, if you would like to know how folk existed and how they did it really tough in the outback of downunder years ago, then the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame at Longreach in Queensland is a must see. The story behind this attraction started back in 1974 when Hugh Sawrey said a tribute to all the great unsung heroes of outback Australia should be created. Other outstanding Australians such as R M Williams shared this dream and a huge amount of fundraising kicked off. So it was that the building built of timber, stone and corrugated iron was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the second on 29th April, 1988.
The museum proudly boasts stories of the aboriginal people, white settlement, explorers, pioneers and much much more. There are over 1200 items in five galleries containing many stories abvout miners, merchants, saddlers, teachers and many more who helped build communities in the outback. There is also daily displays of horsemanship, cattle handling and much more.
Earlier I mentioned the fact of no phones in the "good old days". Oddly enough I was facinated by a display of Alfred Traeger's pedal radio, an item that finally gave the outback its voice. The radio wasn't only for emergencies but for contact with neighbours on far away stations, and also for the ladies of the land who used to look forward to what was known as the "galah sessions". Whilst I figure things haven't changed much in that regard I chose not to comment to my wife.
A visit here will take up a few hours and if you become hungry I suggest the Cattlemen's Bar & Grill & R M Williams Cottage where you will be able to pick up a great local steak at reasonable prices.
Where to stay??? I strongly reccomend the Ilfracombe Caravan Park which is about a 15-minute drive to the Stockman's Hall of Fame.
