170: Why Aussie born Kristy McGregor moved to New Zealand & launched a magazine

About this episode

Kristy McGregor grew up on a small block on the outskirts of Sydney, before falling in love with the outback. She once lived on a remote cattle station in western Queensland and co-founded the Channel Country Ladies Day, an incredible annual event in the bush. Life is very different now though after Kristy fell in love with a Kiwi and moved to a sixth generation family farm in New Zealand. It was a tough transition and she felt more isolated there than she did living eight hours from the nearest town in Queensland. Her struggles inspired her to start Shepherdess, a quarterly magazine that showcases the lives of rural women across New Zealand. This is her story.
