When Brad Parker was young, he loved toys. But now 26, it’s not the Tonka truck variety he is into. His dream is to work for the council driving the trucks, rollers and graders, which for Brad, is no mean feat. Brad was born with low muscle tone, which can affect not only movement, but overall health, eating and speech. Growing up, working on his grandparent’s farm, just outside of Casino, Northern NSW, Brad learnt to love the outdoors.
Like a true cowboy, he can even crack a whip and has showcased his skills at the annual Casino Beef Week festivities.“We have a really long whip – it’s called a bullock whip – the handle is so long it takes two hands to hold the whip to crack it. It makes a huge sound!” he said.
