Welcome to the Outback

Sue Williams, bestselling editor of Women of the Outback and Outback Spirit, travels into the heart of Australia seeking the essence of what makes the Outback such a unique place and the people who live there so special.

Sue's journey takes her droving 600 head of cattle through Queensland, she finds herself pregnancy-testing cattle at a remote property in the far north of South Australia, competing in an Outback Ironwoman challenge and evenn survives a boxing match in the ring at Fred brophy's infamous Outback Fight Club. Along the way she swallows countless flies, bears witness to our grand country in drought and in flood, and between swarms of locusts and a mice plague, meets an incredible array of colorful characters from old drovers, new backpackers and overseas tourists, to the ever-increasing hordes of grey-nomads.

Sue knows how to tell a good story - and confirms once and for all that it's a weird place out there. As she says, 'Somehow, I survived. And eventually found the heart of Australia in the most unlikely place of all.'
