Annabelle from Yarrie Station

Annabelle Coppin owns Yarrie Station and runs it with her family. Her family have been the leaseholders since the late 1800s and she is a fifth generation farmer.

Originally it was a sheep farm but these days it is stocked with cattle. Every year they muster the cattle from all corners of the huge property.

We visited Annabelle and her mustering crew (station hands) at their campsite near a beautiful outcrop of granite.

Watch the video on Vimeo or YouTube to see how it went. Or see our progress on our Google Map.
