About The Book

So many people have felt a shift towards prioritising a more authentic life in recent years, and nowhere exemplifies that life better than the bush.
Rural Australians navigate isolation, the weather, and a huge responsibility to the land and their animals, but from these pressures have gleaned powerful and important learnings. The bush lifestyle forces them to slow down (there are no trains to catch, after all) and accept that there are things they can't change (like the weather). But it also forces them to be self-sufficient, respect nature, find beauty in all the seasons and foster a sense of community.
Bush Wisdom shares the stories of a wide range of fascinating rural characters, featuring twenty important learnings we can all live by, wherever that may be.
