Step back in time with The Flying Vet, a fascinating documentary that follows David Bradley and his wife Susan, operators of the world’s largest veterinary practice. From their tiny Cessna flying out of Kununurra, David served cattle stations across northern Australia, with David being an integral part of the fight against TB in the Top End.
The film captures breathtaking aerial shots, raw and authentic stock work, and plenty of familiar faces for anyone connected to the northern beef community. Cattle stations like Bullo River Station, Newcastle Waters, and Rockhampton Downs are featured throughout, making this a true slice of Top End history.
Directed by James Knox in the early 1980s, this documentary is now available exclusively on RFTTEJOBS.com. I had the pleasure of meeting James a few years ago, and he generously agreed to share this gem with our community.
Enjoy the journey!
