Growing up on the black soil flats of Fairfield, just outside Longreach, Amy's heart has always been firmly set on silks and serious competitiveness. As the daughter of a third-generation grazier, she's proven herself to be exceptionally skilled in a jockey saddle. Amy's unique journey places her among the very few females who dare to ride in one of the last remaining picnic race clubs in Queensland, and quite possibly, all of Australia.
In this episode, we delve into the compelling narrative of why these races are not just a tradition but a vital part of the community's fabric. Amy's unwavering dedication to these events shines through, as she shares her insights on why it's essential to ensure their continued existence and prosperity.
But that's not all there is to Amy's remarkable story. She's not only a fierce competitor but also a passionate advocate for her community. Amy proudly holds the distinction of becoming the first female race club president for the picnic races, and she played a pivotal role in the revival of the Tower Hill race club when it faced closure during years of unrelenting drought.
Join us as we explore Amy's journey, from the thrill of racing to the resilience of a community, in a conversation that celebrates the spirit of the outback
