The cowboy is one of distinct characters of American life. And while their numbers have been dwindling for ages\u2014 in 1949 LIFE ran a memorable story on the vanishing American cowboy<\/a>\u2014today movies and TV shows with Western themes have never been more popular<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s worth noting that while cowboys are original to America, versions could be found on other continents. In 1967 LIFE wrote the frontier people of the Australian Outback<\/a>. The story appeared in a double issue <\/a>devoted to what LIFE termed “The Wild World.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the reckoning of LIFE editor Don Moser, the Outback was even more rugged than the Old West. Here’s how he put it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The Outback of Australia is a frontier, and the men and women who live in it are frontiersmen just like those who opened the American West\u2014cattlemen, prospectors, professional hunters. But their frontier is harder than ours ever was. It is, God knows, beautiful, but without prettiness\u2014the austere beauty of light and space, of harsh country and big sky. There are vast red deserts, bizarre hills and strange ridges, chasms and gorges, dry riverbeds of white sand, and above all, endless miles of blank, brutal land.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The photos by George Silk<\/a> capture that world in vivid color, and Moser’s words bring to life the characters trying to make a life in the Outback. One cattle rancher, Bill Waudby, talked about the dry years he had endured. He quipped, “It’s not hard to become a cattle baron out here. It just depends on how you spell baron.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silk photographed a rancher named Joe Mahood while he was breaking a wild horse. Mahood is quoted as saying, “You’ve got to be as gentle as you can. But as gentle as you can is fairly rough.” Silk also documented life for Mahood’s family, which included his three younger kids receiving their school lessons over a two-way radio from a teacher who was hundreds of miles away. Talk about your remote learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mahood family’s nearest neighbor was 120 miles away. But seven-year-old Tracy Mahood told LIFE she had no interest in moving. “There are too many people in the town, there’s not enough space to wander, and you don’t get goannas<\/a> there.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frontier spirit could not be summed up any better.<\/p>\n\n\n
