Embark on a poignant journey through the landscapes and lives of an Australian farmstead in the 1960s, now lost to time. In this heartfelt memoir, the author recounts the hilarious, sad, crazy, and desperate stories that defined their family's life on a farm. Relive when Grandpa Gerry burns down the old outside toilet, and when Auntie June realises, "WHAT, there's a COW in the HOUSE???!!!"Through this evocative memoir, relive the laughter, tears, and unbelievable, but true tales, of a family that once toiled in the paddocks, transforming them into a vibrant landscape and farm, which has been claimed by progress. Devastated by coal mining, the once-thriving region becomes a backdrop for tales of endurance and the indomitable human spirit. In a touching narrative of passion for the land and the enduring legacy of Australian farm life, the author immortalises a world forever changed but never forgotten, through the lens of childhood.
