Meet the Author - In conversation with Sally Warriner

Next date: Friday, 03 May 2024 | 06:00 PM to 07:30 PM

Join us for a very special conversation with author Sally Warriner. Sally's riveting and funny best-selling personal memoir, Not just the wife of the General Manager, explores her life on remote cattle stations in Australia's far north. 

Sally was in her mid 20s when she returned from a backpacking sojourn and hitchhiked to Australia’s far north. But instead of moving back to Canberra as planned, she stayed. Sally married a cattle station manager and lived and worked with him on various stations; ingraining herself into the lives of the characters who inhabited these isolated places. With wit and sass, Sally tells the story of how she was so much more than just a wife of a station manager (despite what some of the top end blokes thought). This is a story about adventure, resilience, the unexpected journeys we need to go on to find ourselves, and having the courage to do something for yourself. In Sally's words: 'Life’s like that, fellas. You may spend a lifetime trying to find yourself but, at the end of the day, you've been there all along.'

To find out more about Sally visit her website to see her recent appearances on ABC Conversations and ABC Landline.

Free. Bookings required. Arrive by 6:00 PM for a 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM event.

Sally will be signing copies of her books after the event.
