Great Australian Lives With Laura Turner

Laura’s guest this week is Sandy Thorne. Sandy is a former jillaroo, brumby runner, horse breaker and bull catcher turned best-selling author, bush poet and performer with a knack for capturing the essence of life on the land. Her work has taken her all over the country and the world – and she’s appeared and performed on countless television and radio shows including David Letterman, Larry King, US Today, Good Morning America and the Michael Parkinson show – earning her the reputation as Australia’s foremost promoter of rural Aussie culture. Her latest book My Mate Gidgee: An Outback Story of Hard Yakka and Humour has been described as heart-warming, sometimes shocking, full of tragedy and treachery - extreme hardship and heartbreak.
