COMP CLOSED: Tell us your favourite farm animal and WIN these two rural fiction books!

This week, we’re grabbing our Akubras and heading to the bush for a very Australian genre – rural fiction. We have two books to give away:

Ridgeview Station by Michael Trant: An entertaining yarn set on a vast outback property peopled with colourful and authentic characters, Ridgeview Station is about love, loss and the spirit of the bush.

The Last McAdam by Holly Ford: Can Nate McAdam win the heart of the woman who's taken over his farm? Combining an unforgettable cast of characters with an irresistibly entertaining tale of romance, suspense and the unbreakable bonds of friendship.

And because we’re dealing with rural fiction, we want you to tell us (in 25 words or fewer) what your favourite FARM ANIMAL is and WHY. Our favourite answer will win both books!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNER WILL BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
