Succession is one of the biggest challenges facing families on the land.

It’s about much more than who takes over the keys. It’s about knowing when to step aside, when to step up, and finding a way to honour what the generations before have built while still allowing the next generation to make it their own.

Emma Foulkes-Taylor has experienced succession from both sides.

As with so many of our guests, there’s a lot I could have asked Emma about – too much to fit into just one episode – so for this conversation I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of having someone who was willing to talk about succession.

So, today you’ll hear about her early years at Yuin Station and what she’s learnt through experiencing succession from both sides. And Emma, if you’re listening - I will be back to record more of your story - especially now that I know how to get to Yuin!

This episode is proudly brought to you by the Shire of Murchison, in celebration of 2026 being the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists.

True stories from the Australian Outback, told by the people who live them. Meet the men and women who live and work on some of Australia’s most remote cattle stations. There are tales of mustering, stock camps, working dogs, rogue cattle and hard bloody yakka, but also the fun of a bush wedding or kicking back at a rodeo. There’s the simple wonder of living in an amazing landscape, but also the downside: the ravages of flood, fire and drought. And always there’s the inherent danger of isolation – times when the Flying Doctor came to the rescue, but also times when lives have been tragically cut short. These compelling true-life stories show what outback life is really like – and why many wouldn’t live anywhere else.
