126: Why country music artist Ell Regan sings at one of Australia's most remote roadhouses

About this episode

Ell Regan is a country music artist who left her home town and family in NSW to move to one of the most remote parts of outback Australia. She now sings at Barkly Homestead, a roadhouse which is the first and only stop for travelers crossing the Queensland border into the Northern Territory. Ell happily drives five hours to Woolies just to do a click and collect, all with her one year old son by her side. The pandemic put the brakes on her music career for a while, but it enabled her to focus on motherhood which has been a rollercoaster and a difficult transition at times, but one which she's overcome by focusing on one thing... having FUN. This is her story.
