Amanda is an amazing photojournalist and an expert at telling stories of life on the land, in a calm and inclusive way.I caught up with Amanda on the weekend at the QRRRWN Conference in Kingaroy.

Be sure to check out our picture bottom!!!This is the part of the podcast where I dive, into our lives in the bush and the extraordinary people in them.

As I am a very visual person and I can’t be the only one, I wanted to paint the picture of the space from this audio. Basically, we talk about resourceful thinking, mental wellness and especially for the mum’s out there post-natal depression. No, we are not professional experts in this area, but to
