Seems, I have struck a cord!!

"So are the working stations in NZ different to the ones in Oz?? I should have known that the properties in QLD aren't as wild as in NZ."

You have sumed it up! You and your family clearly had a great holiday, on a working farm,on which you killed a few animals....and good on you, your choice, do what you like.
Maybe, though your post should have gone to one of the many travelogue forums.
