Diamonds and Dust by Sheryl McCorry

Sheryl McCorry grew up in Arnhem Land carrying
crocodiles to school for show and tell. When she was 18,
Broome beckoned, and it was there that - only hours after
being railroaded into marriage by a fast-talking Yank -
she locked eyes with Bob McCorry, a driver and buffalo
shooter. When her marriage ended after only a few months,
they began a romance that would last a lifetime and take
them to the Kimberley's harshest frontiers.

As the only woman in a team of stockmen, Sheryl soon
learned how to run rogue bulls and to outsmart the
neighbours in the toughest game of all - mustering
cattle. The played field was a million acres of unfenced,
unmarked boundaries. But Sheryl soon saw that to survive
in the outback a woman needed goals. Hers was to become
the first woman in the Kimberley to run two million-acre
cattle stations. But it was to come at an unimaginable cost.

Inspiring and unforgettable, Diamonds and Dust is a classic
story of a woman finding her destiny in the furthest
reaches of the outback.
