More About Hobbsbarb
Kojonup
Farmer
Born in NSW and a farmer's daughter, I moved to WA and spent teen years in Perth. Escaping to rural WA as a teacher I finally settled in the Kojonup area - a farmer's wife and mother of two sons. We farm sheep for wool and meat and crop canola, wheat, oats and barley. I also relief teach at the local school and am on various Voluntary committees.
