Raised on an isolated cattle station north of Alice Springs during the 1960s and 70s, Tanya learnt about the outside world through the Correspondence School and School of the Air. Tanya has published Alice to Prague (2019), An Alice Girl (2020), and Beyond Alice (2021) is her third memoir. In this episode, we discuss the Book Beyond Alice, which takes place when at the age of 12 years old, Tanya was sent sixteen hundred kilometres away from her outback home to boarding school, a traumatic and life changing experience – not just for her, but her family also. Tanya's memoir is a humorous and inspiring story of strength, resilience and the realities of Australian outback life. And, to be honest, it’s hard to believe that some of what she lived through is a true story. *** This episode is sponsored by Ariat Australia.
