Flying solo: gutsy women running outback properties after tragedy | Hard As Nails #5 | ABC Australia

Ойын-сауық

It can be a hard and sometimes dangerous life working in outback Australia. Three graziers, who each lost their husbands in separate tragedies, have been left to run enormous, remote sheep and cattle stations.

    I have been feeling sorry for myself lately because I rarely see my family, and am mostly alone! This is a reminder of what one person, alone, is capable of! It is also a reminder that both my grandmother's lost their husbands early, had to run country properties, and also brought up their children and young adults alone - successfully! It's important to live each day, do something positive, and be the best you can be! 🤗😊👍

    Interesing. We are conditioned to believe that people on the land are somehow disadvantaged and don't have many choices, but I found that once I moved out of the city and into a small community, wild horses would not drag me back to the city. As those ladies say - the feeling of freedom and community is what makes it all worthwhile.

    Sitting here in England I can only wonder at the strength of these ladies. They probably exist in all countries.. but Aussie ones do it at such extreme distances. Much much admiration and respect.

    True blue Aussie battlers these ladies are the backbone of the outback their guts and determination is second to none. Keep on keeping ladies Australia is a magnificent place to live but it can be brutal being so far out in the bush because of the distance one needs to travel in case of emergency 10/10 for heart and determination. 💯💛💚

    Women are the stronger sex. In life and death. In all cultures. I live on the other side of the world (Sweden) but even here the force of women (40 years old and up) is formidable. When body and mind don't have youths strength or enthusiasm any longer, but ascends to something greater... We call it to be a "tant", kind of like an (old) lady, but a force of nature. I love all of you (us) "tanter", giving hope. Binding, weaving, keeping people, places and time together. Thank You for showing your unique and demanding kind of life in this video.

    I salute these gorgeous, courageous women. I was widowed at 57, after 40 years with my teenage sweetheart. I ran my own business, and continued to do so until I retired five years ago. It's very, very hard and no, you never get over it. But I was determined to build another life and I feel proud that I have done that. It's sink or swim, and these lovely women, like me, decided to swim. Thank you for such an uplifting piece. With love from the UK 🇬🇧

    i wish people wouldn't say " lost" this infers carelessness My husband died suddenly at 59 from a major brain bleed but he was a donor so not all bad but I wasn't careless I didn't loose him. if we own up to death it makes it easier to cope and so I continued running the business until I retired 5 years ago
