Outback Queensland - Stockfoto

Typical cattle grazing country in remote parts of Cape York, outback Queensland, Australia. The climate is monsoonal, with a distinct wet season between November and April in the following year. Hardly any rain falls between May and October and by the end of the dry season the savanna grass is parched and beef cattle congregate in herds around large dams or other pools of water that have yet to dry up. Australia is among the world's largest and most successful and efficient producers of commercial livestock and a leader in the export of red meat and livestock.
