Gabriel Passmore truly has the best of both worlds. He spends his weekdays in Sydney, working in the corporate world and surfing at Bondi. And on weekends, Gabriel eagerly heads west to work on his family's cattle properties around Forbes and Condobolin.

Gabriel has a modern take on how to run the family farm, and it's not always easy convincing his father (with fifty years of experience) to go along with them. In this episode, you'll hear how they've had to compromise to look after their stock and battle through the drought.
