A Photo Of A Woman Standing In A Field, Looking Out Over The Vast Expanse Of Rural Australia. From Burleigh To Boschink: A Community Called Stony Lake

In the vast and sparsely populated expanse of rural Australia, there lies a world that is both familiar and foreign. It is a world of towering mountains, sprawling deserts, and endless horizons. It is a world of hard-working farmers, proud Indigenous communities, and resilient small towns. It is a world that is both beautiful and unforgiving, and it is a world that is rapidly changing.

In her new book, From Burleigh to Boschink: A Journey into the Heart of Rural Australia, Sarah Wilson takes us on a journey into this enigmatic and captivating world. Wilson, a former city dweller, embarked on a year-long road trip across rural Australia in an effort to better understand the people and places that make up this vast and diverse country. Along the way, she met with farmers, ranchers, miners, Indigenous elders, and small-town locals. She learned about their lives, their challenges, and their dreams. And she came to appreciate the unique and resilient spirit of rural Australia.

From Burleigh to Boschink is a beautifully written and evocative account of Wilson's journey. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the people and places she encounters, Wilson paints a vivid picture of a world that is both familiar and foreign. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to experience the true spirit of the Australian outback.

Here is an excerpt from the book:

I drove for hours that day, the landscape unfolding before me like a vast and empty canvas. The road stretched out ahead of me like an endless ribbon, and the only sound was the gentle hum of the engine. As I drove, I thought about the people I had met so far on my journey. I had met farmers who had spent their entire lives working the land, ranchers who rode the range on horseback, miners who worked deep underground, Indigenous elders who shared their stories of the Dreamtime, and small-town locals who were proud of their communities. These were the people of rural Australia, and they had a strength and resilience that I had never seen before.

From Burleigh to Boschink is a powerful and moving account of one woman's journey into the heart of rural Australia. It is a book that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
