For this family, wrangling crocs, mustering cattle, fighting bush fires and riding rodeo are the norm. Over 1,000km drive away from Darwin, the nearest city, the Joneses are a world away from creature comforts. Their everyday life is lived on horseback, their days are ruled by the sunlight and while the men are men, the women of Coolibah form the strength of the station. Head of the family, Milton Jones, is a Northern Territory man with mustering in his blood. With the help of a seasonal workforce, plus his 42 choppers and a dozen or so horses, his business musters cattle from across the territory. Back at the Station, his wife Cristina runs the rest of the business and the household. As passionate about her horses as she is about country life, she wouldn’t change anything about her rural existence. A world away from the city slicker lifestyle, this unique series offers a raw but accurate snapshot of life in rural Northern Territory.
the original concept of paytv was NO AD's but this last year we have as many if not more than freetv why should we pay $100 a month for the same as the others
Finally, customers are starting to speak out about the excessive amount of ADS! Very much agree that you should not have to pay $100 per month and get more ADs than on free tv. Due to the poor quality programming I am down to two programs now to watch on Pay TV - I am trying to justify this costing $100 per month. Pay TV need to lift their game.
agreed, its been hard to ague for keeping Foxtel with my wife who is most unhappy at the amount of Ad's and poor quality of programming. Increasingly we are finding it harder and harder to find suitable and enjoyable programs to watch. On top of this is the huge amounts of repetitive ad's which we and many of our friends are sick of. We are finding it very hard to justify the over $100 per month we pay against free to air which we have now started to go back to. The services have gone backwards and now everything we want to do on it costs you extra.
Finally an Aussie show that shows what rural life is like and what do they do, bugger us all. I think its a slap in the face to us all especially hard working farmers who do a very difficult job to allow us to live the way we do. We were looking forward to following these folks on a very interesting and informative journey. No happy about what Lifestyle have done, especially about the lack of notice or explanation. Even Foxtel staff seems in the dark.
I know! You could watch "Dating in the Dark" instead! Seriously, there are enough shows that could be pulled way ahead of this particular one! Came back tonight hoping for some explanation, alas, there is none!
Absolutely hanging out for the next ep. Hubcap devastated when not shown ?
and it is not on at the other scheduled times! We love the show! Where is it please?
Mezzy, our family was also looking forward to watching last night. We had the program linked and up until Wednesday the link for it was still there for 7:30pm Thursday. Unfortunately Foxtel removed the link without notice and looks to have pulled the show, again without notification nor explanation. I have contacted them and the call centre staff were not about to shed any light on what has happened, other then to say it looks to have been discontinued. I complained that this was not right for them to do this, especially without explanation to its subscribers who pay a lot to get an increasingly diminished service. Even their on screen search engine is no where near as good as the old one. I think there will be a lot of others out there angry and p'd off at them for their total customer disregard.
I agree with Chelsea... We want the Joneses!!!!
People that think rodeos are cruel usually know nothing about them Jain. I bet you live in the city. I think this show is a perfect example of life in remote Australia .
How true Rachel!
so where is it? Location Lacation Location is on. Most disappointed
I saw the trailer and was absolutely disgusted that they let the boy ride a tiny scared calf while someone hung on to the poor things tail. of course, people like this ride in Rodeos despite the cruelty. They'll be telling us next they care for their animals. I'll definitely be tuning out when this is on.
Jain, get off the grass and out of your arm chair, stop judging others and making disingenuous comments about subjects you clearly no nothing about.
I'm with spud
get a life
