Brad Murray works as a stockman on an outback cattle station, but when he gets bored he writes his own bush poetry 'just for fun'.
Based on a remote central Australian cattle station, 350 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs, he earns a living as a ringer.
"I'll run them through my head and I usually put them on the notes on the phone, while I'm poking along in the truck," he says."Some things really flow. If someone says 'write a poem on this' it doesn't work. It's just sort of got to come naturally.Mr Murray hasn't studied creative writing, but the stockman has always had "a flair for English" and listened to a lot of Slim Dusty.
