      A paddock is a fenced off section. And there can be 5 or over 20 paddocks per farm. A station is just a big farm. Often but not always on a 100 year leasehold. Technically government owned land....

      Yeah... nah... it's awful actually. No one has ever done a good Australian accent. Robert Downey Jr in "Natural Born Killers" sounded more like a New Zealand accent, if that. In this clip, Clarkson sounds like a Pom just using a different accent
