Do you sometimes think how good it would be to chuck it all in and head off on an adventure?

It can be nice to daydream about how things could be different –even for just a moment.

For Lyndee Severin, those feelings weren’t a pipe dream…

Speaking to Lyndee, I get the feeling she’s someone who isn’t afraid to get stuck in and give things a go. She was the first one in her family to go to university, graduating with a business degree in her mid-20s as a mature-age student whilst parenting her two young kids as a single mum. After working as a public servant for nearly a decade, Lyndee decided to go on a trip of a lifetime when she was 40-years old - riding her motorbike from her home in Wollongong to Darwin. It was a trip that would change her life and see her move to Curtin Springs Station – a million-hectare cattle and tourism enterprise, not far from Uluru in Australia’s red centre.

Looking back at taking that first motorbike trip 20 years ago, Lyndee had no idea how the holiday would set the course of the rest of her life.

MAKING A DECISION ABOUT your children’s education can be a struggle.

Boarding school is something that many children from rural, regional and remote areas experience in their lives. It can be one of the greatest experiences – making lifelong friends; getting a great education; and being offered amazing extra-curricular activities such as sports and cultural activities. Making a decision about your child’s education can be difficult, so we have created a guide to help make that hard decision a little easier for those of you who are facing it.

In our current Autumn issue, there is a lift-out for you to read. It features some fantastic schools and expo information. Along with some insights about boarding school from our regular contributors Jane Smith, Jayne Cuddihy and Grace Quast.
