25.01.2022 On Saturday High Country Droughtmasters held their 7th annual on-property bull sale near Eskdale. On the day thirty-six bulls were offered, averaging $10,125 and topping at $21,000. Twenty registered females were offered and topped at $13,000. The females averaged $6025.... Congratulations to the Laycock family and the High Country team for a successful sale.

25.01.2022 "NEVER WORK WITH CHILDREN OR ANIMALS" How many times have you heard that quote? I for one, have lost count that's for sure! ... Over the years I have photographed many animals and personally believe that horses are one of the hardest when it comes to getting their ears forward (for those curious....ears forward is a must, unless of course its an action shot). Now with that in mind, when Richard Cox called this week and said he had a vision, I questioned the likelihood of getting both animals ears forward at the same time. Challenge accepted.... To my surprise and only minutes into the shoot, we had nailed it. What a credit to Coxy and his trusty four-legged friends. I couldn't have done it with out the help of Lochy and his crazy noise-making contraption (I need to get my hands on one of those) or my two little off-siders. When the noise machine didn't work, their little voices worked a treat. If you like this, make sure you check out the other pics on my Instagram page.

22.01.2022 ~ THUNDER ROLLS & LIGHTNING STRIKES ~ Late last night the lightning struck and the thunder rolled along the ridges of Theodore. And over the past few days we have been fortunate enough to find ourselves under some of these storms. What a lovely change from dust!... It is great to see new green shoots on everything and feel the freshness in the air. Here's to a relaxing day of catching up with friends and editing photos.

17.01.2022 LEST WE FORGET "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning ... We will remember them." During these unprecedented times it makes you appreciate what is most important. Thank you to those who fought for our freedom in the past. Thank you to those who fight for us now and Thank you to those who will continue to fight for our future. 2020 may be in the midst of a pandemic but we will continue to remember our ANZACS.

13.01.2022 What a view! Confucius got it right when he said, Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

10.01.2022 HOLD UP, WAIT A MINUTE..... Can someone please tell me where June & July have gone?? I mean Covid-19 has stopped us from doing basically everything, yet this year couldn't be ticking over any quicker if it tried! Time needs to slow down, especially for those of us who want to enjoy precious moments like these. . .... . These two little cherubs are tractor, header, motorbike and plane mad (to their father's delight) and to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way! They love cows, horses, their two blue dogs and climbing on anything and everything in sight. They also enjoy doing girly things too.....but what I don't like is how quickly they are growing up. It needs to stop (Ohh how I wish it were that simple!) Thankfully though we all have the ability to capture precious moments like these. So while you're out and about this weekend, make sure you grab your camera and snap some pics to look back on. Because today is but a memory come tomorrow. Xo #apictureisworthathousandwords #yesterdayisamemory #todayisagift #tomorrowisnotpromised #coultonscountry #photography #ruralphotography #ruralphotographer #outandabout #childhoodunplugged #sisters #myeverything P.S. If you'd like to share your precious moment... We'd love to see them. Make sure you tag CCP in your post so we don't miss out.

10.01.2022 BACK IN THE SADDLE Well, so to speak anyway. In my case its more like back behind the camera! It has been many moons (umm...possibly only a few months/feels like an eternity!) since I was last out and about and what a fantastic feeling it was this week. The fresh air, open spaces and photographic opportunities were in abundance. 2020 has certainly been a year of change and for CCP what better time is there than now to upgrade the watermark.... It was fun designing the new layout and I can't wait to share some more images with you over the weekend. See more

01.01.2022 On the 19th of September it was Gyranda Santa Gertrudis Stud time to shine and that they did. During the welcoming speech stud principal Peter Mahony paid tribute to Burnett Joyce and acknowledged his contribution to the industry. The crowd applauded Mr Joyce’s hard work and commitment and from there the sale started strong with the first five lots averaging $16,000. Chris and Elisa Fox, Cooinda Santa Gertrudis, Proston, were on their way home from North Queensland where th...ey had been delivering their own bulls, when they decided to call in to the sale instead of following it online. In doing so they became the top purchasers of the day and took home Gyranda Quokka for $22,500. Shaun and Jo McGuigan, Cree Pastoral Co, Thangool, locked in the second-top price bull, Gyranda Quicksilver, for $20,000. They had researched this particular bull thoroughly and were able to base their decision making on the data and history gathered. The Mahony and Joyce families were excited about the result on Saturday which saw the entire draft being sold to average $10,282. Mr Mahony commented that it had been one of the biggest crowds he had ever seen at Gyranda. Coulton’s Country Photography was there to take pictures and record the day as it unfolded. Make sure you keep an eye out for this week’s edition of the Queensland Country Life where some of CCP’s social images will end up. Last but not least, congratulations to the Gyranda team, the agents, bidders, volunteers and visitors in what was a successful day. Santa Gertrudis Australia
