Stockman Campdrafting in Biggenden, Australia
In the Australian lexicon, a stockman is the name given to a person who looks after the livestock on a station, while a drover tends to cattle on a stock route. Trainee stockmen are known as "jackaroos" (trainee stockwomen are known as "jillaroos").
Stockmen traditionally used whips and rode horses for livestock maintenance and mustering, but motorised vehicles are increasingly used. Station employees, including stockmen, who work at a number of different occupations within their work, are also known as 'station hands'.
In Australia, the person who raises and looks after the livestock is usually called a grazier if they own the property (called a Sheep station or Cattle station). The sport of campdrafting is reputed to have started by stockmen during informal competitions.
In Longreach, Queensland, Australia, a Museum and Memorial called the Australian Stockman's Hall of Fame was established to pay tribute to the pioneers of the Australian Outback.
