In this episode of Salt of the Earth, Darren catches up with Reg Dodd from Marree, South Australia.
Born in 1940, Reg has spent a lifetime working and living in the outback. He started working with horses, ploughs and scoops at just seven years of age, learning early what it takes to make a living in the country.
Reg’s story is one of hard work, family and a deep connection to the outback. He’s also been recognised with an Order of Australia Medal for his contribution.
It’s a great yarn from a man who knows the country inside out.
As Reg puts it, “Country is everything.”
