In an age of helicopters and road trains, it was necessary to recognise and capture some of the stories of the men and women whose lives comprised of many lonely miles in the saddle taking stock through the harsh Australian outback along stock routes such as the notorious Murranji Track.

To honour their contribution to our unique pioneering history, outback workers, drovers, stockmen and women were invited to attend the first annual Outback Muster and Drovers’ Reunion in 1990. It has since become an annual pilgrimage to the home of the ‘stockman’ – The Australian Stockman’s Hall of Fame.

The annual event, held over the Queensland Labour Day long weekend (first weekend in May), gives the many drovers, stockmen and pastoral workers an opportunity to tell tales around the campfire and reminisce of days gone by.

For visitors to the Hall of Fame at reunion time it is a unique opportunity to experience the living history of our legendary drovers.
