    • Abstract:
      Up front When Leah Purcell was five years old, she liked nothing better than climbing into her mother's bed at night and listening to her recite Henry Lawson's The Drover's Wife. In Brisbane, Leah met Bain Stewart, a handsome kickboxing coach and youth worker with a black belt in karate. He's a wise man, a generous man." Leah and Bain have been living and working together ever since. The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson, which Leah has written, directed and stars in, hits cinemas in May.
