Cattle Mustering – Megalong Valley Blue Mountains, New South Wales

In the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, Brandon and Kayne start this episode climbing some of the most spectacular cliffs in the country! A complete head-rush way to arrive, just in time to face a hoof-thumping mission: Brandon challenges Kayne to muster 40 head of cattle in the Megalong Valley – but, to do so, he’ll have to undergo four days of training as a Jackaroo. It’s not easy work, with the boys learning to shear sheep, test cows for pregnancy and more. They take some time to meet the local Gundugurra people, before Justin the Jackaroo puts them through their paces on the farm.
