G’day legends! Ever wondered what life was really like for early Aussie settlers, battling the elements, pesky kangaroos, and more than a few nosy crows? In this members-only episode of On Our Selection, we take you right into the heart of bush living with Chapter Three – “Before We Got the Deeds.”

Tag along as we break down the grit and humour of old-school farming life on the Darling Downs. You’ll hear about tricky neighbours, runaway livestock, dodgy loans, and a family’s wild, hard-fought push toward finally owning their land. There are classic family yarns – from a cheeky kangaroo rat dinner to a horse haunted by crows – all packed with real Aussie expressions, a good laugh, and a fair bit of head-scratching old bush slang.

It’s the perfect listen for ESL learners, history buffs, or anyone keen to get a genuine taste of Australian pioneer spirit.
