Today Alice and her husband, Rick who have three teenage children, run one of Australia's largest seedstock businesses, supplying bulls and cattle to the Australian beef industry. 10 years ago, Alice wrote a memoir detailing the ups and downs of her transition to life on the land. It includes her near death experience, the morning she almost lost it all, when her horse bucked her out of the saddle in remote bushland. This is her story. Sometimes you have enough on your plate.
