Every country can be defined by the food they eat, and how they prepare and cook this food. The same is true for different states within many countries, or even down to particular regions. The extraordinary range of differing food preferences of the population of each country, state or region has an unc anny knack of capturing the essence of each area's personality, whether stodgy, optimistic, mean, generous, pleased with themselves, bold, passionate, laconic, pride in what they do, risk-takers, disciplined, over-bearing, particular, unimaginative, creative, challenging; and the list goes on.This book richly captures the unique and powerful personality of those wonderful people who make up Australia's cattle station region; that vast, rugged and unforgiving yet mystical wilderness that is this cattle station country.These cattle station recipes and stories bring alive the optimistic, resilient, sharing, enterprising, self-confident, risk-taking, creative, laconic and proud free spirits that characterise our cattle station communities. ...Show more

Back of Beyond: One Woman's Remarkable Story of Love, Adventure, Disasters and Wonderful Times in the Gulf Country by Jenny Old

$32.99 AUD

Category: AUSTRALIANA

After falling in love with my husband, Rick, I moved to a property called McAllister in the remote Gulf Country of far north Queensland, where I found myself living in a shed with a 44-gallon drum for my stove and a shower rose and a bucket in a tree for the bathroom!' When 22-year-old Jenny Old followe d her heart to the vastness of the Gulf of Carpentaria, she had no idea of the primitive conditions she'd find herself in. Often her only contact with the outside world was through her two-way radio. Stretched to the limits, she achieved more than she ever thought herself capable of. With every setback and in the toughest of times when the odds seemed insurmountable, she learnt to dust herself off, find a smile and just keep on going. For eighteen years Jenny and Rick battled flood, drought, cyclones and personal hardship. Yet their world was a big as the landscape in which they lived, filled as it was with generosity, wonderful characters and the joy of life. At McAllister they established an oasis for their family and friends.Jenny's motto is: life throws many curve balls at us, but it's how we deal with them that counts. This is the extraordinary story of a woman of the bush and her indomitable spirit. ...Show more
