But the women of the Outback are a different breed: tough, resilient and endlessly resourceful.

Molly lived alone in a 1920s homestead in the middle of the Simpson Desert for twenty years without even a phone. Alice admits she couldn't tell a cow from a bull when she first went to live in the Outback.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book tells the inspiring stories of fourteen remarkable women, from high-achievers to everyday heroes.
