Erica Benz
I Chose the Dusty Plains tells the remarkable story of Erica Benz and her husband, Erwin, as they leave behind an affluent lifestyle in Basel, Switzerland, and later Sydney to take on the rugged challenges of the Australian Outback. Swapping city life for the 25,000-acre La Mancha sheep station, they face isolation, scorching heat, and the unpredictable rhythms of rural life.
With wit and determination, Erica recounts two decades of triumphs, setbacks, and personal growth, offering an intimate look at their transformation from urban professionals to seasoned Outback dwellers. Their tale is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the spirit of adventure.

This is an amazing book. I read it almost in one go, could not put it down. It is funny, thoughtful and gives terrific insights into life on a central western Queensland sheep station from the Seventies until the Nineties. I Chose The Dusty Plains is very well written too. And the author Erica is quite a character, I liked her very much.
