target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sue Williams<\/strong><\/a>, which has just been released into bookshops.<\/p>\n<p>Sue visited Cherbourg for a few weeks last year as an Indigenous Community Volunteer, and got to know Jeanette during her stay.<\/p>\n<p>Sue was so impressed with Jeanette&#8217;s work on The Ration Shed Museum that she&#8217;s devoted an entire chapter of her latest book to telling Jeanette&#8217;s story, alongside the stories of 15 other amazing Australian women who&#8217;ve made the bush their home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>They include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>German migrant <strong>Frauke Bolten-Boshammer<\/strong>, who drew on enormous inner strength to survive the suicides of her husband and youngest son as well as the failure of the family\u2019s isolated property, then went on to build a diamond merchant empire from its ashes and find a second chance at love<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Heather Jones,<\/strong> who raised and educated two

who was terribly injured in a helicopter crash in one of the most remote spots in the world<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dr Ann Ward<\/strong>, who took up a new job with the Royal Flying Doctors
