Twenty women share their incredible stories of surviving and thriving in the remote Australian 'Gulf Country', near the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Gulf women are self-sufficient, generous, and can cope with almost anything that life and the environment throw at them: floods, drought, sickness, emergencies. Whether they are graziers, fisherwomen, ringers, women in tourism, aviation, and education, Indigenous women, or descendants of early women settlers, this powerful book gives these women a voice to tell their own stories.
