- Women of the Outback, by Sue Williams. Penguin, rrp $32.95
She is one of 14 women who star in this inspirational book.
Fargher's takeover of the old and fading Prairie Hotel was no easy task.
Formerly a watering hole for railway workers on the old Ghan Railway line, declining patronage meant the hotel was on its last legs.
With hard work and vision, the "Para Pub" is a place where travellers now stop for bush tucker such as feral antipasto and bush tomato chutney on Turkish bread.
From the Mallee, country singer Sara Storer shares her experience of life on the road and growing up near Wemen.
Sara is from a long line of women who've made their home on the land. The harshness of the country inspires much of her music.
Now filling concert halls, and with seven golden guitars from Tamworth under her belt, Storer has paid her country dues, whether this was flipping hamburgers in a truck stop roadhouse or knowing gut-busting work on the land.
Australia's only professional female yarn spinner and bush poet Sandy Thorne, from Lightning Ridge in NSW, has appeared on the Michael Parkinson show in the UK and the David Letterman show in the US.
A jillaroo in her early teens in the 1960s, Sandy shares her stories of working her way across the country.
This is a book that reveals a group of remarkable and inspiring outback women.
