Cattle Muster, Mittibah Station, Northern Territory

Stockmen push up a line of cattle towards a temporary yard on the Barkly Tablelands in the Northern Territory.

Such round-ups were an annual event on Mittibah Station when this photograph was taken from the mustering helicopter.

The three-week livestock muster takes on a carnival-like atmosphere as every member of the station staff joins in the activity.
