🎙Episode 41. Chris Henggeler - The backpacker who bought a cattle station
Imagine this: building a pastoral lease from scratch.
I’m talking about walking onto a piece of land that has never been managed or developed – no fences, no man-made waters, no roads – nothing.
Sounds like something from the 1800’s right? A story of the settlers?
Well, this actually happened in the late 1980s, when Chris Henggeler purchased a new pastoral lease in the east Kimberley.
In this episode we find out how a Swiss backpacker ended up purchasing an Austrlalian cattle station, why there’s still no road access to Kachana over 30 years later, and about one mans mission to bring regenerative agriculture to the Kimberley.
