Technology helps keeps running things smoothly on Prenti Downs and station manager Jack Carmody says it has a massive role to play in the industry.

It is 7am at Prenti Downs, a remote cattle station in the centre of Western Australia and Jack Carmody is checking 38 water points that are scattered across 404,685 hectares.

It makes sense in other ways, too — Mr Carmody can constantly track cattle, target feral animals and reduce grazing pressure as required, which allows perennial grass to grow."You identify issues quickly, because we have our eyes on them all the time, and more sets of eyes on one location," Mr Carmody says.

"If family go out bush and if we break down or something, at least we can have connection to call someone if it's an emergency." Cameras have deterred artefacts hunters on Prenti, trespassers have disturbed culturally sensitive sites on other stations. It gave him followers from all around Australia and the world, but it also gave him a tool to educate others and himself."It's a two-way conversation" he said.Stories from farms and country towns across Australia, delivered each Friday.
