    S4 Ep11: Quambone Part 3
    Nov 20 2025
    Recorded on Wailwan Country

    In this episode, we head to Quambone, a small farming town on the edge of the Macquarie Marshes, where the landscape and the people are inextricably linked. Life here moves with the rhythm of the seasons — shaped by water, land, and a deep respect for both.

    Through stories of family, farming, and the local school, we hear how Quambone’s people stay connected to each other and to country. From vivid memories of growing up in the district to reflections on what it means to raise the next generation in a remote community, this episode paints a warm, authentic portrait of a town that’s proud, practical, and full of heart.

    🌾 Episode Highlights

    Quambone Memories
    Locals share personal stories from across the decades — from shearing sheds and dusty roads to dances, floods, and family milestones. These are the voices that hold the living memory of Quambone.

    Farming in the Macquarie Marshes
    Farmers and graziers talk about working the land in one of Australia’s most unique ecosystems — balancing livelihoods with care for the marshes, and the challenges and beauty of life on this delicate floodplain.

    Quambone Public School
    Students, teachers, and parents from this small but spirited rural school share what learning and community life look like in the bush — where every face is familiar, and education is truly a team effort.
