Being born and raised on the land hasn't meant any free passes for Angie Nisbet. Forging her own path as a stockwoman and grazier hasn't come easy. She's had to work tirelessly and prove a lot of people wrong. As if running Landsborough Downs near Hughenden Queensland wasn't challenging enough – she's recently added a couple more roles into the mix: mother to three children under four with a fly-in-fly-out husband and podcast host. Angie is a powerhouse and the perfect guest to mark International Rural Women's Day this weekend.
- Angie's favourite task on her farm is jumping on the motorbike to check the paddocks and land.
- Angie is based 400 km from the closest major town and what it's like to live in the centre of Queensland.
- As the mother to three young children with a fly-in-fly-out husband, Angie shares how she makes it work.
- A day in the life of Angie as she musters, checks water pumps and fixes fences, just to name a few.
- Angie shares her passion for the land and why the core of her being is drawn to the land.
- Barriers and surprise support for Angie as she trained to be a Jillaroo, as a woman in a male-dominated field.
- Growing up with parents Jim and Terry Lindsay, who developed the Low Stress Stockhandling school which people attend from all over Australia.
- Angie's podcast aptly named 'Married to the Land' and why she feels it's important to share these stories.
- Family, community and bringing her family up in a grounded environment is Angie's favourite thing about life on the land.
- The common misconception is that life on a farm is easy.
- Angie shares that the most unexpected thing to happen was how deeply she is connected to the land.
- The ultimate dream for the future.
