There, she faced incredible hardship, living in a hut with not even basic necessities. Her only contact with the outside world was a two-way radio. In this vast empty landscape, she battled drought, flood, fire, and cyclones. For eighteen years she and Rick struggled to stay on in the Gulf, eventually triumphantly turning McAllister into a thriving oasis. This extraordinary story of one indomitable Australian woman is told in her own words with skill and humour. A story of the bush people and their generosity, filled with wonderful characters. Most of all, the story of one woman's love for her man and the adventure it took her on. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Old, Jenny. 650 0 Country life|zAustralia|zCarpentaria, Gulf of (N.T. and Qld.)|vBiography. 650 0 Farm life|zAustralia|zCarpentaria, Gulf of (N.T. and Qld.) |vBiography. 650 0 Women|zAustralia|zCarpentaria, Gulf of (N.T. and Qld.) |vBiography. 651 0 Carpentaria, Gulf of, Region (N.T. and Qld.)|xRural conditions. 700 1 Old, Jenny. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11879997?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ aut_9781518946561_180.jpeg
