155: Cotton farmer & entrepreneur Fleur Anderson survived cancer, twice.

Fleur Anderson is a cotton farmer and a serial entrepreneur. She's held several senior roles in ag, and now leads the Statewide team in the Office for Rural and Regional Queensland in the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Fleur has carved out a career for herself from a town of just 500 people. She's highly respected in our industry professionally, personally though, she told me she's never shared her story openly like this. Fleur admits she was bit of a rebel at school, a rule breaker, and couldn't wait to kick start a career in agriculture. It hasn't all been smooth sailing though. Fleur has survived cancer... twice. First at just 17, and then again just four years ago. If you take just one thing away from my chat with Fleur, let it be this.... book that check up, that pap smear, that mammogram. Don't wait. This is her story. Christmas book list! Get your hands on Fleur McDonald's latest gripping crime novel, Broad River Station. A young police officer faces prejudice in a small country town, until the search for a missing child changes everything. Fleur's incredible books are inspired by life on the land, and Broad River Station is available now in all good bookstores and online.https://www.instagram.com/motherlandaustralia
