About this listen
Not Just the Wife of the General Manager is a rollicking memoir of one woman’s life on outback cattle stations, and an homage to the many unsung women like her.
With wit and sass, Sally tells the story of how she was so much more than just a wife of a station manager. She was a nurse, a mother, a travel agent, a host, an organiser, and whatever else the moment demanded of her. She was just as likely to be found assisting the Flying Doctors or the local Indigenous community as she was organising Kerry Packer’s New Year’s Eve parties.
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.

'Shining a light on the unique and often bonkers world of the Australian cattle station, this is an engrossing, funny and poignant memoir about one woman's resilience and positivity. ..' (Hugh Bonneville, actor and star of Downtown Abbey)
'It's all about Australia – the Kimberley and the Territory – and cattle. ... But the real focus is on the people ... Sally is a natural storyteller.' (Kerry Lonergan, former producer of ABC's Landline)
'It is unputdownable. A strong woman’s memoir full of hilarious, sometimes frightening, anecdotes. It provides an insight into a life most of us will never experience, or could even imagine.' (Colleen Ryan, former editor of Australian Financial Review)
'A story for suburban Australians – of a life fully lived (to date) with a wicked sense of humour and insights into a life about which most people have no experience.' (Peter Dowding, former Premier of Western Australia)
