ABC Muster Dogs’ star Frank Finger

The third-generation farmer has a persistent determination to support the agricultural industry, a deep love for his muster dogs, and a passion for sharing his stories with residents at MontCler. 

The national award winner of the Muster Dog series has helped raise the profile of the Clermont and Isaac regions across Australia. 

Frank has made appearances with his dogs at many local events, such as the Long Drive for Drought, the Clermont Gold and Coal Festival, and the Beef Expo. 

He and his family run regular dog training schools, sharing the benefits of his experience with other cattle producers and emphasising the need for humane treatment and personal interaction with the dogs. 

Frank is also a strong supporter of the local tourism industry, making his grazing land available to prospectors. 

He serves as a valuable industry advisor to the Agricultural Program at Clermont High School, offering support and opportunities to many students. He lends cattle as a teaching and learning resource and makes his property available for activities, including providing a venue for Year 10 work experience. 

Frank has been a steadfast supporter of the Clermont Show, serving as a committee member for many years and continuing his support as both a contributor and sponsor to this day. 

And to top it all off, Frank and his family have been generous supporters of the Queensland Working Dog Trials since its inception nearly 20 years ago.
