Life on the Land- Summer Series- Cass' pick!
Sun Jan 25 2026
Summer time means a dive into the archives for the Life on the Land podcast to highlight our favourite episodes.
Cass is part of Graziher's partnerships and advertising team at Graziher and has enjoyed digging through some of the older episodes. It was Sammie's conversation with iconic Australian author Alison Lester that particularly tickled her fancy.
Alison’s books have become iconic staples for many Australian children, making her a household name right across the country. Not only are her timeless tales eagerly awaited as a bedtime story, her words and illustrations are woven into the fabric of so many families’ lives.
She’s the cherished author whose stories and illustrations, such as ‘Magic Beach’ and ‘Kissed by the Moon’ filled our childhoods, and now, adorn the bookshelves of our children, evoking waves of nostalgia from our own youthful days.
Originally from a picturesque property near Foster in Victoria’s South Gippsland region, where the undulating hills converge with the vast expanse of the sea, Alison now calls Nar Nar Goon North, her home. An hour out of Melbourne in West Gippsland, she, her husband and their horses, revel in the serenity of their sprawling 10-acre property.
