Are You Bogged Mate?

Ep.11 - Peter Frazer

Season 1, Ep. 11
•

Peter Frazer, or Fraze... is a lifelong mate of Marys. They worked together in the DPI for a number of years.

Fraze was pivotal in the TB eradication program working as a Stock Inspector, testing up to 1000 cattle a day on properties where those

cattle could be spread across 3/4 of a Million acres.


His career was nothing short of a steep learning curve having to work on diseases from the Hendra Virus to the Equine Flu... even Prawn Spot.

He shares a passion for Bush Poetry with Mary, who wraps up this chat with a very fitting tribute to Fraze through her own poetry.
