Decade long droughts, biblical style floods and raging bush fires are but some of the challenges faced by Aussie outbackers alongside the everyday test of isolation, rugged terrain and economic hardship.​

​

Life is hard and unpredictable. It is here that good old Aussie character is born and the bond of mateship and courage is forged by common hardship and shared struggles.

​

So whether we are descendants from bush pioneers, trying to find our dreaming that was home to our indigenous ancestors or just having a go, we all have a place in the future. The outback reveals some of the most memorable characters that continue to write our history.

Aahh...the innocence of a child as recognised by animals

There is something special about a woman who can clean a house, raise her children, be the love and support her husband needs, cook 3 mean meals a day, be a boss, a mother, a lover and on occasions a fighter; work cattle all day, and sheep the next, sit on a horse from dusk till dawn and still be a giver, listener and friend. And all this just scratches the surface of what this amazing woman does.​ ​ Jane Green, Leslew Downs NWQ
