Rachael Treasure

Rachael Treasure lives in Southern Tasmania with her two adult children on ‘Little Big Farm’. Her passion for Natural Sequence Farming techniques, high level animal handling skills and holistic farming inspire much of her fiction.

Rachael’s first novel, Jillaroo, blazed a trail in the Australian publishing industry for other rural women writers and is now considered an iconic work of contemporary fiction.
Rachael began her working life as a jillaroo before studying at Orange Agricultural College (now University of Sydney), and received a BA of Communications at Charles Sturt University. She has worked as a journalist on many publications in Australia’s rural print sector and for ABC rural radio.
