**This episode is part of a mini-series produced for the Gascoyne Catchment’s Group, who have kindly allowed me to share it with you. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I did making it.**
In this episode, we speak to Lochy and Jane McTaggart, who called Bidgemia Station home for over four decades.
They say they’ve lived a big life — and they mean it.
Together they endured the challenges of life in the bush - the ones that were part and parcel of working in agriculture, like drought and death, and those they could never have seen coming - a catastrophic flood which almost destroyed everything they spent their lives working for.
Throughout it all, Lochy and Jane have raised a family, built a community, and created a legacy that runs strong today.
To start our conversation, I asked Lochy to take me back to where it all began.
