Suburban girl Frances Jones and her partner David Pollack have been carving a life out in the Aussie outback for three years now - here's the remarkable story of her journey from suburbia to frontier-land...
Jones arrived at 'Wooleen' from a lush, green suburb in outer Melbourne during a gap year trip. She fell for the station and its owner and has been there ever since. Together, the pair have embarked on a radical venture to return the rangelands to good health by destocking and replicating natural ecosystems. But with drought gripping WA their beliefs are now being put to the ultimate test... but they can't leave now. "Even if the change is slow, we can't walk away from, you know the environmental impacts of what's happening in the rangelands. We stay because we want to."
ABC Australia - Ref 6354

Wishing this couple the absolute best! What they are doing is SO IMPORTANT. Australia needs more people on the land like this! When I’m next in WA I’ll come stay / support them any way I can.

Nice. For some reason, I was prepared for something fascinating, jaw dropping, soaringly inspiring, but it's just... nice. It's always good to see people doing sustainable agriculture.

You can`t take without putting back,they are both doing a very good job of rehabilitating the land. The real story here is diversification,without it you can`t survive.

Wow! Worked in that area in the 1970's as a driller, and loved it. That was before we realised there was another way of looking at the "desert"...a very interesting and exciting view of the same land. Bravo....

They're in it for the long haul and had to stop it getting worse in order for it to get better. I found this documentary very inspiring, a kind of "making the desert bloom" and I really hope they can make it work.

What a nice couple, they share the same passions and love for nature and the land and this will make them successful in due time, because they share the same love for nature and the land, a very special couple indeed.

I hope they're doing well. Geoff Lawton in Australia teaches about swales and grasses to regenerate the land too.

On my to do list, carted sheep and hay in Gascoyne area decades ago, seen it at its best and worst, just taking the time to look at the world from there instead of being in a hurry might be good !

How about this: David & Francis get married, start having/raising children, then pass-on this FINE ranch to them, to nurture in "the Pollack fashion," in perpetuity ?

how old is this doco? Are this couple still going strong? Do they have a website, or even better a crowdfunding platform to support what they're doing? Any info would be appreciated. They are deadset heroes, and should be among the highest paid people in Australia, instead of struggling as shown here

Hugo The Poet I found their Facebook page, they post regularly. This docu is only a few years past and is a follow-up to the initial story (I posted the "Land Stewards" comment, fyi) It deffo inspired me to search out more info on Wooleen. I hope to go there some day.

there is no taking on the outback, as if you can overpower it and win, you are always at the mercy of this place, local knowledge, wise planning and preparation increase your chances of surviving, sometimes surviving well but the outback ultimately decides if you survive or survive well or die

I try to be like this in my everyday life. I have myself lived on a station and it was extremely hard and you have no choice but to look after what you have .one thing that pisses me off is the fact that if cattle are keep in a padock instead of running around free not so much of the land would be screwed up from them eating all vegetation. and change of stock type would help.i have seen hundreds and hundreds of feral goats running around.instead of moving them on they could catch these animals worm them and then slaughter them.

What the fuck are you going on about. When something has been operating for over 150 years, i think we can say that its sustainable. I was raised on a farm. I bet you live in a city
