This half hour drama, starring John Jarrett was filmed on my cousins’ property in Tasmania’s picturesque Fingal Valley. The script was inspired by my concern for chemical use in farming. My husband John and I had cameo roles and my red Kelpie, Gippy stole the show, along with trained chooks.

I always knew I would write a novel one day. That day came when John and I quit our day jobs and moved to a cattle station in outback Queensland. I really wanted to tell an Australian story using a modern country heroine at its heart. Rebecca Saunders was born and so began my journey as an author.
