Would you chuck it in and plunk your family down on a farm at the tail end of the world?
Sight unseen, Americans Dick and Ruth Reese, with three young children in tow, migrated to Australia’s remote island of Tasmania. With zero farming experience, they bought a sprawling 125-acre farm on a dead-end road near the quaint village of Port Cygnet.
Perpetually in the poorhouse, Ruth’s entrepreneurial spark ignited a series of businesses selling homegrown products to Australians and promoting her pet pig, Matilda, in sunscreen commercials.
Living in a house alongside orphaned lambs and goat kids and an alcoholic rooster, outside, it was worse with wandering sheep and goats, an illicit Clydesdale and pig love affair, and poisonous snakes.
Before escaping to the exotic land of your dreams, have a read.
