Julie Mayne, one of our Directors, starred on My Way on Channel 9
Few people understand the pressures of living and working on the land quite like Julie Mayne.
Few people understand the pressures of living and working on the land quite like Julie Mayne. After growing up on a cattle farm, and as a single mum, she packed up her two children and started her own farm. But times have been tough with Queensland’s most recent, devastating drought. With the days long and the isolation enough “to make you crazy”, Julie has found a way to keep herself sane through a creative quest. The result, spectacular sculptures made from scrap metal that are dotted around her isolated and vast property, that will make even the most discerning art critics’ jaws drop.

2020 QRRRWN Strong Women Leadership Awards Program
For the eighth consecutive year, the program will identify and celebrate the exceptional leadership strengths of another legion of outstanding women who live, work, achieve, volunteer and/or are in service of Queensland’s rural, regional and remote (RRR) areas.
QRRRWN’s Awards program applauds the achievements of rural, regional and remote women in all their diversity and skill and is a platform to both recognise their achievements and to connect them with QRRRWN’s network, as they become alumni of the program. Their skills are nurtured and developed by a series of webinars which encourage nominees to work with mentors to articulate their work, both volunteer and paid.
