Publisher's Summary

Author Deb Hunt sets out to discover what makes our Australian farming families tick.

Travelling to properties across the country - from a vast, dusty cattle run in outback Queensland to the wheat belt of Western Australia and dairy farms in Tasmania - and introducing us to eight different families who survive and thrive on the land, these stories provide a window into a way of life that defines the Australian spirit at its best.

Beautiful Book

This is a heartwarming book that provides an empathetic peak into the lives of some unassuming, resilient and uplifting outback families. Beautifully written and narrated.

A fantastic read

Such wonderful word and easy listening. Great 'real' Australian stories with ironic flavour. It would be great to hear more stories of current (newer) Australian farming families to see what has changed.

Fantastic warm and profound story telling

The narration was amazing, could have been the author herself with warmth, feeling and humour.
What a fabulous window into the real farming families of Australia!
