176: Alison Jones reveals all about her time on Farmer Wants a Wife!

About this episode

In 2010, when Dr Alison Jones applied to be a contestant on Farmer Wants a Wife, she did it for a bit of a laugh, and had no idea just how seriously the show would impact her life. Fast forward to today and her and Charlie are busy raising three young boys from their property in Walcha, New South Wales. Alison is a long way from inner-west Sydney where she grew up, and admits it took her two years to adjust to life on the land after a 7 year long distance relationship with Charlie. After her third child, Alison was horrified to learn that parents like herself were having to take their kids to work, or not be able to work at all, due to a lack of childcare in the town. Amazingly, after a year long mission, Alison and other local families have banded to end Walcha's childcare shortage. It's our go to for all your parenting essentials. This offer is valid until 26 June 2023. T&Cs apply.
