This post is authentic however any numbers offered by the NSW Govt are never honest

Please see attached population count from late last year.
As you can imagine there has been more artistic magic from Minister not so Sharpe and her department.

Just think, we’ve all paid for this rubbish..

🐎 MEET THE TEAM!

Next in this series is a man who needs no introduction. The founder of CHT and Camp Boss.

For Peter, CHT was never about money. His passion for the mountains, horses and high country, and the spiritual and cultural traditions are what drove him all those years ago, and still to the present day. Offering an opportunity to experience his world is and always has been, the objective. Being told by a rider that they want the same horse on return is his reward.

🏆 Known for around the farm: Always has a story (or 10) to tell!
💬 Their motto: “Seatbelts on!”

🐴🎥I’m putting the word out there… 🐴🎥

If you worked on The Man From Snowy River with me, riders, wranglers, extras, crew, anyone who was part of the madness and the magic, I’d love to hear from you.

We’re gathering stories, photos, and names for the Hall of Fame, and it just wouldn’t be complete without the people who helped bring it all to life.

So please reach out, drop us a message, or tag someone who should see this.

Let’s reconnect and make sure your part of the story is remembered the way it should be.
