Helen speaks with Lyndee Severin and Amee Porter about Curtin Springs, the 1 million acre station along the Lasseter Highway. They share the history of the station, and how they have added other businesses to capture the tourism market too. From the fascinating story of how Dawn and Peter Severin arrived on the station and why they were instrumental in the establishment of tourist facilities at Uluru, to the unusual way they muster cattle now, this episode doesn't disappoint. Not only is Curtin Springs a working station and a tourist hub with beautiful landscapes, accommodation, camping, guided walking tours, a restaurant, a store, a bar and fuel, but it's also making its mark on the art trail of the Outback Way. Making paper from native grasses that are found on the property has expanded into jewellery made from the paper, and now also an artist in resident program.
