[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 723750, member: 1279"] See a lot of the places here are really isolated. Like, where I was doing harvest they had a school and a hall that was also the pub and that's it. Most of the wives worked in the school as school nurse, teachers, bus drivers, office staff. In towns like those the town is what the inhabitants make it, the hall was funded 1/3 by the locals which ended up being like AUD$100,000. And no one wants to go out there and work see so they do it all themselves. Mind you these are whole families running farms, one farm I know has maybe 7,000ha and there's uncles, fathers, sons, cousins etc running that. And they do hire staff. I wouldn't be surprised if the wives do a lot of the finances. Seems to be the trend. [/QUOTE]
