Stockman’s Strategy

Synopsis: Structured as a series of episodes, the film explores the philosophy of teaching and learning of Sunny Bancroft, manager of Collum Collum, a cattle station operated by Aborigines in northern New South Wales. Shows Shane Gorden, a 16-year-old apprentice, as he takes his first steps toward becoming a stockman under Sunny’s guidance. By turns dramatic, reflective and humorous, the scenes build up a picture of life on the station and of Shane’s progress among older and more experienced men.
