This song celebrates 'Station life' - an acquaintance of many of Maria's
students. There mustering of cattle regularly occurred. When
mustering and droving using horses was replaced mostly by
motorbikes and helicopters, many horses were let go and became
'brumbies'. However, in the eyes of many, these horses still remain part
of 'family'.
​
This song also recognizes the passionate love of horses of Teresa -
one of Maria's valued Western Desert colleagues.
