9000 Acres

Amanda and her husband, Mark, operate a cattle property in rural Queensland. Up to 9000 acres in size, there are many challenges to everyday life that Amanda and Mark must overcome to successfully operate their farm. Cattle mustering is a bi-yearly task that often requires a large team in order to be completed safely. Amanda has to help some boys from the neighbouring farm muster their cattle, which are on her land on agistment. Amanda and the boys agree to meet at 5:00am to begin mustering. However, when the boys fail to arrive on time, Amanda heads out into the fields alone.
