Outback Wisdom
A collection of thoughts, some humorous, some down to earth, on dealing with life. The author shares the lessons her life on outback Bullo River Station has taught her. She has written three other works including 'From Strength to Strength' and 'Some of My Friends Have Tails'.
Some of My Friends Have Tails
From the phenomenal best-selling author, Sara Henderson, comes an entertaining book that will delight readers everywhere. Sara Henderson's love of animals was firmly established in her early years and continued throughout her life. In Some of My Friends Have Tails, she shares the tales of her many extraordinary relationships with animals. There is Rosa the goanna who swam in the family pool. Pye-Wacket the cat who grew up believing he was a dog. And Sundowner the poddy calf who loved eating the washing, 35 mm film, and sheet music off the piano. But not all the characters in Sara's life are four-legged. We meet the sixteen-year-old housekeeper who was smuggling drugs, and the Italian gardener who sang opera at dawn. And there are some familiar faces as well: Charlie, Uncle Dick, Max, and Marlee. These stories range from the funny to the heartbreaking, from Sara's earliest memories to the present day, and take place in many countries. Over the years, Sara Henderson touched the hearts of the thousands of Australians who heard her speak, read her books, and loved her stories.
The Strength of Our Dreams
The captivating sequel of Sara Henderson's first book, From Strength to Strength. The Strength of Our Dreams is the long-awaited follow-up to From Strength to Strength and its equally best-selling sequel, The Strength in Us All. It continues the story of this amazing Australian, taking us through the last six years of her incredibly varied life: the special joys of being a grandmother, the frustrations of the outback farming life, and the humorous side of fame. Here Sara shares both her triumphs and her tragedies. Warm, funny, and down-to-earth, Sara Henderson has become one of Australia's living legends and an inspiration to thousands of people. The Strength of Our Dreams is full of the unforgettable outback yarns and characters that have made Sara one of Australia's favourite authors. 'Life is once again offering me unlimited opportunities with one hand, while hitting me in the face with new challenges and problems on the other. But that's what life is all about. And who said any problem or challenge is unsolvable?' - Sara Henderson
The Strength In Us All
All the strength you need to achieve anything is within you. Don't wait for a light to appear at the end of the tunnel, stride down there ... and light the bloody thing yourself! After being named the Bulletin / Qantas Businesswoman of the Year in 1991, and following the phenomenal success of From Strength to Strength, Sara Henderson's life changed forever. Australians took her into their hearts and she became an overnight celebrity. But beyond the glory, life continued to deal Sara its heavy blows. In 1992, she lost a court case that left Bullo River, the million acre outback station she had struggled so hard to save, under threat. Then her daughter Marlee was diagnosed with cancer and Sara found herself close to breaking point. But when letters, faxes and phone calls from people all over Australia started arriving, they were filled with such compassion that Sara was inspired to carry on. In her best-selling sequel The Strength In Us All, Sara updates us on life at Bullo and tells more of the colourful stories about Charlie, Uncle Dick, the girls and their animals, and all the other unforgettable characters that have played a part in her remarkable life.

Bullo
"I have always been an optimistic person. There have been many big challenges in my life but I've always met them head on. That's the way I was raised by my father for better or worse. I had worked for almost my entire life of 39 years on our family property in the Northern Territory. I had invested everything on a practical and emotional level into Bullo and it was always understood between me and my mother that the property was part of our future. I would never leave the property and I didn't think she would either. I would raise my family there and in time it would pass to my children. Now my whole life as I'd known it seemed to be at an end...But, I knew what I had to do. I would give it...
Her Father's Daughter
Since the publication of her autobiography, Sara Henderson has become a household name. There's barely a person in the country who doesn't know the now legendary story of how she saved her outback property from a million-dollar debt, hasn't heard about the philandering husband and the estrangement from her middle daughter Bonnie. But how much of what she writes is true and how much of it is fantasy? Tired of being misrepresented in her mother's books, Bonnie decided to set the record straight and asked journalist Debi Marshall to write her real story. And the result? Well, not since Jaon Crawford's daughter wrote Mommy Dearest has such an icon been so well and truly smashed. But Bonnie's sto...
Consuming Health
In our post-welfare society, health is increasingly viewed as a commodity and individuals are defined as 'health care consumers'. At the same time, the notion that the state should care for the health of its citizens is being replaced by an expectation that citizens should play a more active role in caring for themselves. These developments are by no means uncontentious. Consuming Health explores the diverse meanings and applications of the term 'consumer' in the field of health care and the implications for policy-making, health care delivery and experiences of health care. Contributors are well-known innovative researchers and lecturers from the Australia, the UK and Canada. Between them they cover a wide range of topics - from the medicalisation of the menopause to the participation of consumer groups in the national policy process - to create an original and thought-provoking text for students and practitioners in the field of health care.
From Strength to Strength
As tough, spirited, warm and funny as the woman herself, From Strength to Strength is the inspirational story of Sara Henderson's extraordinary courage and determination. In 1959, Sara met American war hero and shipping magnate Charles Henderson III, and so began what she calls the world's most demanding, humiliating and challenging obstacle course any human could be expected to endure. Three years after their marriage, Charles presented Sara with her new home, a tin shack in a million acres of red dust. Bullo River. After twenty years of back-breaking work on this remote Northern Australian cattle station, Charlie's death revealed that Sara had not only been left with a floundering property, but also with a heart-breaking mountain of debt. With very little to lose, Sara and her daughters, Marlee and Danielle, took up the challenge of rebuilding Bullo River ... with such tremendous results that in 1991 Sara was named the Businesswoman of the Year. This best-selling autobiography of Sara's story has touched the hearts of people all over Australia. 'Everyone has a book in them, they say, but not everyone has the kind of story Sara Henderson tells, and tells well.' — THE BULLETIN
