Great to see Jack on here. He is doing a fantastic job communicating with the world on what goes on at his Station and the efficient and effective use of technology together with how he deals with some of the challenges.
There is an American youtuber that has put jacks system in on his farm to control a 5 acre bass pond the sky is the limit for ways to implement this. Congrats jack and jas. Keep it up
What a great idea as not only does it save environmental impacts of the cost of fuel, but it also helps protect aboriginal cultural sites, by stopping cultural thieves, I don’t consider them relic hunters. The system also potentially saves people’s lives like the Aboriginal remote community member who broke down. They can also get the flying doctor out if there is an accident working hours away from the homestead. What a great system he has set up. livestock can also get help sooner if there is a problem.
Awesome jack is way ahead in technically for his time. Will benefit all off Australian outback remote living. Hopefully the Australia government will come on board.
That was a great report , really enjoyed it , hung on every word ! Love the presentation by Giulia Bertoglio , she has a very interesting style. Look forward to seeing more of her reporting.
Ive been watching jacks youtube channel for a while now and he does a great job of presenting the challenges of operating a remote station in the current age. Id love to possibly work with Jack to develope a palletised comms link system that could be sold as a product. For various applications: farming, primary industry, drone charging and operating, military, etc.
Aussie government is on board at the moment. Have a on farm connectivity program and companies like Land Watch Australia do this exact thing! Good work Jack!
Hats off to Jack's effort & success at building an enviable water monitoring /controlled access/yarding system. Done in large part from skills acquired working in tech. For me the lure of outback cattle station life is in part the relative isolation - not lonely when alone, living at the pace the land dictates. Jack like so many of his age group appears dependent on connectivity to the world & naïve to the consequences of sharing 'data' (your privacy & identity) with the whole world wide web....at what cost? Cheers
What a great video! I love your channel @jack_out_the_back and seeing all the work you (and Danny) do for the station. Shame the Western Australian government cannot get behind these station management best practices more.
A very good story, but like with any story there are good points and bad points. I am disappointed that support organisations can't see the benefits of a real working technology example in place and not in some consultant's dream thesis. I am angry at the Aboriginal Artefact hunters who are already working on exploiting the area. I am concerned about how access via the extension ladder is reaching the top of the camera/antenna post. One advantage of the internet control over water point cattle yard is that you could develop a mobile set of scales for the animals to move through as they come in to get watered. Couple the scales with RFD ear tags and you can track the health of each and every cow using that water yard. Then after a week or so, you can move the mobile scales on to the next water yard to check on those animals. It might pay to design the water yard fence system so that the animals learn to enter via one gate and exit via another gate, which would facilitate the use of the scale trailer. Once the animals are used to entering through the one way system and being registered via their ear tag, you could develop a health and well-being program for orally delivered medicines and worm control tablets. The cows will quickly learn that going through the scale trailer to get weighed, perhaps a spray of flea and tick along the spine and a tasty treat containing all wormer and other oral health preventatives, followed by a nice drink of water! Just some thoughts! Great family environment! 😊 Mark from Melbourne Australia😢😢
As a person who does this for a living, I see a heap of things that need fixing to remove the DIY factor, just like missuse of terminology. Radios too close, wrong alignments and poor choice of radios for job. I spend plenty of time flying from QLD to WA and sites building and fixing these sorts of things and biggest issue is the cheap and easy access to the gear and making the DIY a problem. Not picking on thios site, just pointing out the fact that there are right ways and wrong ways to do the job without being a problem in the airspace. I see so much more that it could be doing with nothing more than some education and better hardware choices.
See how dumb our government bureaucrats are.. Im taking my startup overseas as we speak and already have funding.. and they'll benefit from the billions in tax I'll generate... Don't worry Aus, I'll lease it to you...

Those girls are having the best life experience ever. Jack is an absolute legend.
sorry i missed the four corners program SUNDAY would have loved to have caught the show cheers
why is sunday in all caps?
Fabulous, great to see this kind of initiative happening. As a nation we need a lot more of it!

Keep going jack and jasmine ✌️👍👏
Jack is an awesome guy modernizing station farming.
Awesome jack is way ahead in technically for his time.

Very very interesting. I feel it could work in many areas as I was a bore man on a station in qld Then a farmer at hyden wa
Could it be possible to remotely control drones, from the towers ?

The video is great. The non Australian accent was a bit of a let down though.
Hahahah we aren’t all drongos
Something good from the ABC. Well done Jack.
Very interesting.

Good to see Jack get some exposure beyond his own channel
Fantastic job Jack
Prenti Downs ,love your work,looking at what you do and the country makes one proud to be Australian,all the best from Perth🇦🇺🦘👌👌👌👌
Love the Views Magnificent
👌 power of technology 💯
Hi Jack I enjoyed your story on landline very interesting
I love his brand new high viz shirt….. still see the creases. 😂😂😂
Jack Carmody from Prenti Downs is a sensational farmer.
Did you fix the tank????
Not a mention of Starlink which is the basis for the whole thing
are they using NBN or Starx
What a great video! I love your channel @jack_out_the_back and seeing all the work you (and Danny) do for the station. Shame the Western Australian government cannot get behind these station management best practices more.
Great article. It's a shame that it's hard to understand the presenter
AYY! Jackouttheback is on the news!
Upgraded to Starlink?
I've often heard that internet is poor in the country. Nice to see that's being worked on!
not just the "country" i have to use starlink, and im 30 mins from the city
Probably the worlds biggest smart home.

How come I can’t understand what the narrator is saying?
I really think he should allow native animals like kangaroos to drink at his water trough even if they are "non-profitable grazers" .
His channel is jack out the back
