A vegetarian backpacker from Germany has been working on a remote cattle station to extend her working holiday visa.One month ago, German vegetarian backpacker Lucia Lang was instructing puppy yoga and surfing the waves at Bondi Beach.
Living out of her swag in the outback is a far cry from German backpacker Lucia Lang's previous life in Bondi Beach.Her reluctant trek to the outback was to complete her 88 days of farm work to extend her working holiday visa, but she said immersing herself in the world of rural Australia had been eye-opening."To see how my boss and the other people work with the animals and how they treat them … I've learned a lot.
"The longer I'm here I realise I'm never going to have this experience again in my life and it's really unique.Shelley Curr, owner of Yelvertoft Station, an hour's drive north of where Ms Lang works near Mount Isa, said spending time on properties as well as agricultural events, like Beef Australia, helped to combat "misconceptions" surrounding animal welfare.
"Unless you actually physically go and work on a cattle property, you really have no idea of what goes on.""We need to sometimes go to the city to see what want, meat-wise or production-wise and restaurant quality, and as an industry we do make an effort to see the other side of the story … but maybe we should be a little more open," she said.
