Conquer the corrugations

Co-founder Emma Jackson says the goal is to have a walk in every state and territory, ideally from next year, conquer the corrugations. Ms Jackson will make the trip to Victoria on Friday with her sister-in-law Debbie Jackson for the first Conquer to be staged outside of the Cape, on the outskirts of Geelong. The walk will go from Barwon River to Inverleigh and more than people are expected to take part — about the same amount that took conquer the corrugations in the inaugural Cape York event. While the Cape York team has played a large hand in the Victoria event, the expansion was led by a group of southerners.

In a corrugated station house near the tip of Australia, English-born Emma Jackson is busy serving bacon and eggs to her four hungry children. It's only 8am on a sweltering hot day in the Far North Queensland bush and already she's fed the horses down at the yards, rounded up a recalcitrant bull and completed a salt lick run for the 3, head of cattle on Wolverton Station, in Cape York Peninsula. Emma is no wilting English rose, but she admits swapping Manchester's city lights for a "gunyah in the gully" — the red, tin shack that inspired a John Williamson song — took some getting used to. Emma, her husband Neville and their four children live together in the home that was built by Neville's family more than five decades ago, along with their then-fledgling cattle operation. She ended up in the region after answering a job advertisement for the Archer River Roadhouse and it was there she met her future husband, grazier Neville Jackson, from the nearby Wolverton Station. The family has had to overcome many challenges over the years, like the time Cyclone Trevor tore through the area in or when their son Ryan was bitten hundreds of times by a three-metre scrub python. But all that paled when Emma's year-old nephew, Dillon Jackson, took his own life on the family property.
