Thanks all, when I was young every farm was a dairy farm. More now are beef cattle.

Just out of interest this is a photo I took of the view to our West, to the North is just virgin bush and to the East is the ocean.
That 'mountain' peak that you can see in the distance is called Pigeon House mountain, named by Captain James Cook on the 21 April, 1770, during his voyage and discovery along Australia's eastern coast.

This is a photo (not mine) that I came across today of an aerial showing Pigeon House, and it shows just how vast and an empty place a lot of Oz is -
