Description

Telling Our Stories to the World explores the amazing stories of everyday Australians. In our first season, we’re meeting Queens of the Land - the women surviving and thriving on the Darling Downs. Join us on a camel farm to try camel milk vodka (yum!), strut the catwalk of Australia’s largest cattle saleyard, and find out how your food really gets from farm to table.


Hosted by Queensland Writers Centre’s Helen Roche and hilarious Darling Downs writer Jane Hultgren, this series doesn’t pull punches. Whether it’s unexpected romance, surviving the grief of pregnancy loss, or watching an entire year’s worth of work float away -
Queens of the Land reveals the extraordinary in the ordinary, through the resilience and ingenuity it takes to make it west of the Dividing Range.
