Additional activities/information • Share the following information with the class. A jackaroo is a man who works on a station in the Outback of Australia. A woman who does the same job is called a ‘jillaroo’. Jackaroos and jillaroos work very hard all day and need to be fit. They gather the stock together to drive them into yards for food and water. They check windmills, water tanks and troughs. They make sure that gates are shut at all times so the stock cannot wander. They check the tracks of wild dogs and foxes. They repair station Clues 1.

Jackaroos and jillaroos work in very hot dry weather, in dust and sometimes in floods. Flies and mosquitoes are troublesome too. So jackaroos and jillaroos need wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts, sunglasses and sunscreen, jeans, strong elastic-sided boots and a swag. Jackaroos and jillaroos must be able to ride horses and motorbikes. After work, their horses have to be washed down and given a feed and a drink. Their motorbikes must be refuelled, punctures mended with a puncture kit and their helmets hung on the motorbike’s handlebars. Jackaroos and jillaroos enjoy barbecues, country dances, rodeos, fishing and swimming in waterholes.
