Episode 6: Bek Hourigan

About this episode

This week, rural mum Bek Hourigan shares her story. As a professional drover, Bek spent several years on the road with her family moving hundreds and hundreds of head of cattle across outback Australia in some very tough conditions. At one stage she was droving with her 10 week old daughter and her toddler by her side, living in the back of a stock truck. Her motherhood journey is far from traditional, and while it's been challenging, it's enabled her to capture some very precious memories with her children. This is her story.
