Bush Bloggers
Welcome – this is a very special paddock in Granite Glen’s holdings: a place where all my favourite bush bloggers are linked in one place. When I began blogging (over three-and-a-half years ago) I knew little about blogging in general, and knew of no OTHER bloggers who shared my kind of life. Since then I have gradually become aware of other Bush Bloggers – who live outside the metropolitian areas in the wonderful country (Australia) and who share some of their world online.
Each is unique – some are primary producers (like we are) and some are not. Some are wildlife carers, some teachers, some SAH Parents, some super-crafty peeps – all very clever multi-taskers! I even have a bloke included (go Michael!)

Have you checked out my blog – http://governessworld.blogspot.com/
After living in the bush all my life and governessing for the past 14 years in SA, QLD and NSW.
I am a bush girl through and through. New to the blogging business but loving it. What a fun communication tool it is reading other people’s blogs with similar issues. Makes you feel less alone. It also showcases the talent sitting in the outback that we have.
I found a two other current blogs by outback governesses

Jess (Farmer Has A Wife – bushmumma.blogspot.com)
Hey, thanks for doing this! It’s much too difficult to find agricultural blogs, much less in a different country! I keep asking BlogHer to do an article or some such on women ag bloggers… maybe we can start with this bunch and everyone put in a request for acknowledgement! Will check out some of these blogs for sure! Thanks, BB!
