Recorded at the kitchen table of Andrea's home, Simpson in South West Victoria.
A cup of tea in hand and a little biccy too Andrea's story is that of the farm, a love of family and the way song can find a way to see and experience the world.
Andrea shares with us about the settlement farms and the way a community came together to build something from nothing. A school, a hall, a football netball club. The harshness and beauty of being a dairy farmer.
But mostly music. Always music and mostly country music. When I walked in the music was playing, the kettle was boiling and I was reminded again how good it was to be home on the farm at Simpson.
Andrea plays down what she has achieved with her music, singing and writing. But it's extraordinary.
