Ep 79: Ash Severin _ Curtin Springs _ Part B
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re back at Curtin Springs Station in the Northern Territory for Part B of my yarn with Ash Severin — and this half of the story cuts deep.
Ash takes us through the evolution of mustering, from horses to choppers to trap yards, and what it’s like balancing life alongside dingoes, goannas, and even wild camels — right up until the bull camels start causing chaos.
He opens up about a fire that burned for seven months, moments of tragedy and resilience, and the personal heartbreaks that have shaped the man he is today.
It’s raw, honest, and deeply human. A story of endurance, loss, and grit in the heart of the outback.
