G'day,
Firstly, I'm not a mustering driver, so am just repeating what I've heard. Mustering generally does not require many hours, you pick them up along the way. It does require an endorsement. The thing is, its pretty unlikely that you'd get a look in with no prior involvement in the Australian beef industry. The important thing is having "cattle sense" and knowing how to move beasts in conjunction with the ground team and not overstress the animals. For this reason, many mustering pilots were station ringers (ground-based cattle men) prior to becoming pilots.
As I said, I'm not one, but am passing on what I know. Hopefully you'll get an answer from "the real thing", but I reckon they are all too busy out there flying their bums off and having a great time to be sitting around surfing the net. Lucky ******s!
Good luck Auto.
