We are thrilled to announce the launch of Recollections from an Outback Sheep Station by Loraine Saunders! 🐑🌾

In this deeply moving memoir, Loraine shares her transformative three-year experience living on an outback sheep station. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Flinders Ranges, she reflects on the rugged beauty of the land, the unforgettable people she met, and the powerful memories that resurfaced along the way.

Through the challenges of station life, Loraine was forced to confront painful family memories—memories that revealed long-hidden taboos and unresolved frustrations. Her journey of writing this book became a process of self-discovery, helping her heal and find peace with her past.

Loraine writes: "The outback became my therapist, and for that, I shall be forever in its debt." 🌅

This is a story of growth, resilience, and the unexpected paths to healing. We hope you find as much inspiration in her words as we did.

Grab your copy from Ginninderra Press and embark on this unforgettable journey with Loraine. 📚✨
