The Redgens of Redford

A family farm in the 1950s.This is the story of my familys life on our mixed farm in Queensland in the 1950s. My story reflects on a period of Australias history where in the absence of modern technology lateral-thinking stubbornness and hard work were the order of the day. Join me as I recall all aspects of my life on the farm including attending a one-room provisional school the excitement of visiting the annual local show and the special event that was shopping day. Experience the challenges of country life-droughts fire and flood-and the love and determination of my family through my eyes as a child growing up and into adulthood.
