People on sheep stations rely on bore water for their stock. A windmill pumps up water from the Great Artesian Basin into troughs or tanks. These windmills can sometimes extend to a depth of a hundred feet or more.

How do people on a sheep station get clothing and manufactured goods?

People on remote sheep and cattle stations in outback Australia still buy their clothing from the shops in towns. People living in particularly remote areas may only get in to the nearest town once a month. However, most sheep stations are located within 100 km of a town, and it's not hard for them to get in to town more often. These people may also wait to purchase clothing and larger items such as manufactured goods until they can make a trip to a major town or city, which is several hundred kilometres away. This may occur every six months or so.
