Environments - JILLAROO JACKEROOABC's Jillaroo School: A new series! Middle Secondary Australian Curriculum General Capability: Critical and creative thinking Australian Curriculum General Capability: Literacy
1. The ABC has created a series called "Jillaroo School". Five Australian women longing for adventure signed up to a course in the South Australian bush. They learnt to ride horses and muster cattle in the hope of changing their lives and landing jobs as jillaroos. The jillaroos faced a team challenge on a practice muster, with chaotic results. Bill, their instructor took a next dramatic step in breaking in a young mare while shearing sheep, driving tractors and preg testing cattle - became all in a day's work for the jillaroos. The girls also learnt the basics of fencing, and, riding a motorbike. The Jillaroos tackled the branding and castration of calves too - all over the period of six weeks.
