Julie Brown is this week's guest who took a leap of faith and relocated to Longreach in central QLD for a job at the Longreach Ag college.

Julie got herself involved in social events and fun within her community which allowed her to meet her husband and fulfilled a childhood dream of living on the land. It has not come with easy living through the crippling drought that consumed most of Queensland for 10 years.

For someone who sees life as always cup half full, she did doubt why loving god would push them to the brink. She is the creative mind behind Coola Cozzies and loves the opportunities the land has provided for herself and the family.
