The ABC when it truly was a national country broadcaster and a great station had a store of recorded stories they would play, one group of which dealt exclusively with the women of the outback
Those women who went out west following their man in developing their stations
No other women for hundreds of miles, no modern transport, no power just a bare hut
I suppose all those recordings may be stored somewhere and it would be good for them to be played again so that people of today would know how they prevailed
One story I remember related to how long a side of beef could last when stored on the roof of the hut, and every now and then a chunk was cut off, all the maggots were removed and the family had a nice roast beef dinner that night
It would be good for the complaining young people now to know how tough it could be
