About the Author
Rachael Treasure gets as excited about soil microbe activity as she does by beautiful storytelling. By combining her love for the land and the written word, Rachael sparked a publishing boom in 2002 when her first novel Jillaroo woke the world up to contemporary women’s stories beyond the city lights. Rachael lives in southern rural Tasmania and is a full-time mother to two young humans and many eccentric animals. She has an Associate Diploma in Rural Business Administration from University of Sydney’s Orange Agricultural College and a Bachelor of Arts – Communication from Bathurst’s Charles Sturt University. Rachael has been dubbed an agricultural activist, feminine change-agent and literary pioneer and has worked as a rural journalist, radio broadcaster, truffle sniffer dog handler, professional wool classer, stock camp cook, drover, farm manager and working-dog trainer. She is a State Ambassador for Riding for the Disabled, Tasmania. You can follow her on Facebook or find
