Pretty Pines (20ks North of Deniliquin)


We visit Tims cousins daughter - Haley Rutherford - out on a property near Pretty Pines. Its a massive cattle station called Rhyola/Inverness. Haley and her partner Matt "Patto" run this station with cattle, and a few sheep.
Haley keeps pigs (some for eating!), and the mother pig had just had nine piglets when we arrived.
The country side is so different to home - flat and scrubby - with dillion bush and salt bushes everywhere. The cattle are amazingly doing really well in this drought. The station is bordered and watered by the Billabong Creek.
