Stories of rural women in the spotlight

Liz Harfull highlights the role of women on the land in her latest book

Bestselling author Liz Harfull shares fascinating true stories of rural Australian women, showcasing the passion, tenacity and resilience required to make a life on the land nada she is set to unveil her latest book to audiences in both Naracoorte and Casterton.

A Farming Life shares stories of women from six rural families as their resilience is tested by personal loss, illness, fractured relationships, natural disasters and the challenges that come with working in a traditionally male-dominated world. Skilfully woven together, these stories are heartwarming and powerful examples of resilience in action, at a time when many of us are searching for inspiration.

The book features the story of Casterton district local Nancy Withers (pictured far right with Liz Harfull), a living legend in the Kelpie world and Nancy will join Liz to share her story, insights and experience of being included in A Farming Life at the Casterton event.
