Live in ranch (P58)

Hello! My name is Marianna and I live in Australia, on a huge ranch. It's a beautiful area with wonderful scenery. I live here with my husband Joe and our two children, Patrick,11 and Abby, 8. We have lived on this ranch for several years and we love our healthy life style. The children have lots of space to run around, The air is clean and fresh and we enjoy the peace and quiet. We produce a lot of our own food which is nice and healthy. There's lots of work to do running a ranch, but we don't mind.

Of course, country life also has weak points. We feel isolated sometimes, too, especially since the nearest neighbours are almost 100 km away. One more trouble is that we can't get many things as easily as we do in the city. There are no schools, supermarkets or shops and if we are ill we have to call the flying doctor. Although life here can be hard, we wouldn't change it for the world.
