Bush farmers in outback NT tap into agritourism to stay afloat
Cattle musterer Nicole Lorimer moved her family to a run-down Northern Territory cattle property three-and-half years ago because they “didn’t want to have all of our eggs in one basket”.
Key points:
The family had struggled after a snap ban on live cattle exports to Indonesia in 2011, which brought the Territory’s cattle industry to a standstill.
“Ninety per cent of our cattle went to live export,” she said.
With the purchase of the 242-hectare Ooraminna Station, nestled within the 242,340-hectare Deep Well Station, Ms Lorimer, her partner and three young children tapped into Australia’s burgeoning agritourism industry.
They see their farm stay as part of the next big travel trend that NT farmers hope will help them stay afloat amid
