Reviews

'Shining a light on the unique and often bonkers world of the Australian cattle station, this is an engrossing, funny and poignant memoir about one woman's resilience and positivity...'  – Hugh Bonneville, actor and star of Downtown Abbey

'A bold and honest writer with a ton of cheek and charm. And a story as refreshing as a plunge into an outback waterhole.' – Robert Drewe, author.

'It's all about Australia – the Kimberley and the Territory... But the real focus is on the people... Sally is a natural storyteller. – Kerry Lonergan, former producer of ABC's Landline

'A riveting and personal memoir filled with poignancy, love and humour...' – Susan Bradley OAM JP CMC

'...unputdownable. A strong woman’s memoir full of hilarious, sometimes frightening, anecdotes . It provides an insight into a life most of us will never experience, or could even imagine. I highly recommend it.'  – Colleen Ryan, former editor of Australian Financial Review

'A story for suburban Australians-of a life fully lived (to date) with a wicked sense of humour and insights into a life about which most people have no experience. A great read.' – Peter Dowding, former Premier of Western Australia 

‘a fitting homage to the unsung women of the Aussie outback, and a cracking read, too!’ – Take 5
