Bob Yabsley
Bob Yabsley is a fourth-generation Australian cattleman whose family has lived and worked on the land since the 1830s. Raised in the rugged farming communities, he spent his early years on horseback, learning the rhythms of seasons, stock, and survival.
Across his lifetime, Bob managed properties throughout Australia and the Pacific, including pioneering the use of helicopters for mustering and land management. His career has spanned droughts, bushfires, unstable markets, and industry upheaval - experiences that shaped his lifelong commitment to innovation, fairness, and community.
Today, Bob lives in Queensland, where he continues to advocate for farmers, regional resilience, and protecting the legacy of Australia’s rural heartland.
