A memoir about the unexpected joys and challenges of a tree-change from a television studio to a farm, from a beloved former ABC weather presenter.
The expectations of a tree-change rarely meet the reality, but for TV weatherman-cum-farmer Graham Creed, being immersed in the weather every day, rather than just reporting on it from a studio, was an eye-opening and transformative experience.
After leaving his television career behind in 2022, Graham became a fulltime farmer at his property, Eagles Reach - growing garlic, dabbling in native floristry, and becoming known to locals as the 'honey man'. But despite utilising his deep knowledge of the weather and climate to inform his farming choices, the realities of flash flooding, bushfires and drought presented unexpected challenges.
Meditative and wry, Weatherman Goes Bush is a candid memoir about rediscovering yourself within the untamed beauty of the natural world. Infused with fascinating weather wisdom and small-town country anecdotes, each page is a charming breath of fresh air that will have you dreaming of your own escape to the country.
