Four Corners is a 3600-acre farm nestled away in the Shire of Dandaragan, Wheatbelt Region.

When Ron and Val Carter first acquired it in 1955, it was virgin scrubland – no communication, no electricity, just acres of bush. Over twenty-five years, they developed the land one small piece at a time, battling droughts that almost wiped out their sheep and out-of-control bushfires that threatened to destroy everything.

This inspirational story is about family, community and hard work.
