Cattle Muster

A uniquely Australian outback tale from award-winning creators, Dianne Wolfer and Frane Lessac.

It’s time to muster the cattle.
Mum’s in the ute.
Charlie’s in the chopper.
Dad leads the jackaroos.
Sis rides canters on the wing.
Everyone has a job, everyone except me.

But whose job will it be to save the day?
