EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the wild, wild outback of Northern Queensland, Australia, where cattle stations stretch as far as the eye can see, a unique method of mustering has taken flight! Picture No. 10863272 captures the exhilarating scene of cowboys on motorbikes and in trucks working alongside a trusty helicopter to round up herds of cattle. With vast expanses to cover, these clever cattlemen have enlisted the help of their airborne ally. The helicopter swoops low over the rugged terrain, guiding the bewildered bovines towards a funnel-shaped fence that leads them straight into the yard for drafting. It's an awe-inspiring sight - nature meets technology in perfect harmony! As dust swirls around hooves and propellers spin overhead, this dynamic team shows us what true teamwork looks like. The cowboys on their roaring bikes keep pace with their aerial partner while ensuring no strays escape.

So next time you're stuck in traffic or feeling overwhelmed by modern life's hustle and bustle, take a moment to appreciate this remarkable snapshot – where helicopters become herding heroes and cowboys ride alongside them through dusty landscapes.
