Joe. Back in 1962 I Was working at Rum Jungle, not too far from Wattie Creek where the Gurinji went on strike. It didn't take 50 native stockmen to run what was then a larger station than it is now, half a dozen at any one time would have been enough, but they all wanted full time wages. Wattie Creek is somewhat smaller now and has been given back to the natives, but would you believe the major part of the active work force is about half a dozen young white blokes. There are opportunities for hundreds of jobs on stations throughout the NT, and these stations must all be making money, so where is it all going to.
