The amount of gear considered totally minimal these days is in sharp contrast to some bushies units still roaming the land successfully at a fraction of the cost of the modern unit.
The Bushie 29-01-2022
The bushie don’t need no four wheel drive.
Has traveled same before you were alive.
Reading land far better than your fancy screen.
Seeing natures signs you will never have seen.
Find no computer chips to run this bushie show.
Only packets of chip empties at his feet below.
When the wet comes on the land you are still.
He keeps going bobbing through the sandhill.
No speed required, just steady observing pace.
He has been around; he just knows this place.
No sign of chrome to be seen on his outback rig.
Just his trusty shovel lest he has the need to dig.
Bobbling aerials do not adorn this outback team.
Simply are not needed on a vehicle rarely clean.
A casual yarn before he heads out on his way.
Ring you when I get there is all he has to say.
Whatever the weather I see again on Sunday.
Before the travel must come the work.
