Hi Claudia,
We are hopeful to have a new series air in 2012 but at this stage no news on when that may be. As for visiting Coolibah Station, as it is a working station there is limited access however you can experience the Joneses lifestyle by visiting the Katherine and Victoria River Region. Checkout: http://www.visitkatherine.com.au
Glad you have enjoyed the show so far!
great!
I moved to NZ 7 years ago from the Territory. I am Territory born (Darwin) and raised and it is great to see my ‘country’. Spent many school holidays in the bush from the Adelaide to South Alligator, Daly, Victoria Rivers plus what is now known as Kakadu (I am a daughter of a man who fought hard for the preservatin and creation of the National Park). Is great to see on TV.
We’re well into the first series over here in NZ. Absolutey love it. Our kids love watching what Little Milton gets up to. We would all love to end up somewhere like Coolibah one day! Go the Aussie Outback!!
I love reading about how much enjoyment people are getting out of the show! For me and my kids and their cousins it’s a chance to see Pop and gran have an adventure as the “grey nomads”. Their territory trip is something often talked about around the kitchen table at carneys, dad especially had the time of his life (and a bit too much excitement it would seem haha). In this world of jersey shore and kardashians it’s great to have reality shows that are actually real! Well done!
Hi Joneses
My family farms in South Africa, we went over to NZ in March to visit my brother who is farming on the South Island, he recorded your whole series for us and we sat one whole night through watching it. Loved it.
Regards

Myself, my partner and all our family just love ‘Keeping Up With The Joneses’ as we live on a working property also, just not as big!
We love how natural and how everyday life events are portrayed on a remote property! I speak for everyone when I hope the team Coolibah come back for a Season 3! You have a huge support network behind you full of loyal viewers who never miss an episode and I know have both seasons on DVD, and also the book titled, The man from Coolibah!!!
Keep up the fantastic work and I hope one day I can travel to Katherine to see the beautiful land surrounding Coolibah!
Cheers!!
Awesome show folks… what natural folk you guys seem… hard yakka at best running anything to do with cattle but so enjoyable .. hope to see more shows from you guys in 2012/13…

Hey Coolibah Group.
My name is Denzi im 15 years old,
I’m off to an ag school next year, I’m going there try to get a mechanics certificate. I’ve always wanted to work on a station or farm, i was wondering what positions you employ people as and how often they come available. I have my own horse that id like to use for mustering. is it possible to take her with me? and how old do i need to be?
Hi Denzi, we have positions for farm and livestock hands available from time to time. At this time we do not have any junior traineeships available but please come back from time to time to check for any vacanices.
Hey Jones’s I am wondering how old do you have to be to work at the station
Hey I have seen your show, I am a 30 year old mother of one year old son Seth. Loooove what you do. Everyday I dream about living in the countryside and cannot think of a better way to live life or any better job to have! As a single parent my dreams of farming dont seem to be in the very soon future as I would like. I dream of chooks, vege patch, cows, horses etc and when I watched your show I wished I were there even as cook lol I haven’t been up close to crocs ever but overall It is great what you do…I am filled with love and envy.
Hi jones I just would like to no when the next show is going to be. I live out on a property and our is 100 000 acres how big is yours
HI Callum, thank you for your interest in the show. Channel 10 replayed the series late last year however, there are no current plans to re-run it again. A new series is being considered but has not been decided on at this stage
hi jones, i am 16 years old and have been working on a Santa Gertrudis stud for about a year and just started a certificate 3 in agriculture. I was wondering if you have any station hand jobs availble.
Hi Chloe, sorry but we have no positions available at present. Good luck with your studies
hi jones family our family really enjoys watching your show about your show at Coolibah Station and im currently reading Man from Coolibah which i enjoy alot.My poppy has a small cattle property and i enjoy mustering on horse back. Can’t wait until your show starts up again.Callum age 11.
P.S does Milton know Robert Van Damme? he’s my poppy. Look forward to hearing from you.
Hi Callum, its great to know that you enjoy the show and the book. I will pass on your comments to Milton when I speak to him next and ask him if he remembers your poppy.
Does Milton know him
Hi jones I love your show. My poppy has a property but not as big as yours. I’m reading miltons book Man from coolibah it is awesome. I never knew bull catching was worth so much money. My poppy was the person who made and tested the bull buggy on his property his name is Robert Vandamme he said that he did bull catching with you. Little Milton is awsome. I want to own a cattle station when I’m older.
Hi Christina,
My name is Trevor Andersen from Brisbane. Would there be any opportunity to photograph wildlife in your area? I drove up to Cape York on my own last September with my camera gear. I have been trying to find someone that would take me up to photograph a crocodile over their nest.I would be more than happy to pay Christina.
Best regards
Trevor Andersen
