Saltwater cattle mustering on Australian beaches 🐃🤠🌊 | Wild Rides Ep 3 | ABC Australia

The herd is on the move. Welcome to Tasmanian cattle country, dubbed the coastal outback.

They are scenes that could be from a blockbuster movie, but it's real life.

The pictures of a cattle muster on a unique and spectacular Tasmanian property tell the story of a proud tradition of moving cattle between island paddocks.

"We probably do a dozen of these rides — maybe not the same amount of cattle, sometimes we might take some bulls over or we might take some cold cows off — but we do it quite regularly and we've got a good core of locals that like to do this," farmer John Hammond said.

"It's good fun, we've developed some great friendships and it's probably the aspect of the job that I really enjoy the most."
