Michael Bethel – Bringing The Old West To The Outback
The BRAVE podcast series is a Townsville Community Information Centre initiative that aims to share the inspiring stories of ordinary people from our local community.
America’s Old West remains a touchstone of our collective international culture. Michael Bethel grew up with those stories, which sparked a desire to be a cowboy. Today, he is one, making saddles and running Texas Longhorn Tours in Charters Towers. In this episode, Michael tells us all about his love for the Texas Longhorn breed of cattle, what it took for him to get started with them in Australia, and some of the stories he’s collected over the years.
BRAVE is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
This project is produced by Damien Lawardorn.
