Welcome to a special episode of the Bush Wanderlust podcast to celebrate Mother’s Day. A huge shout-out to all the past, present and future Mums and all the fabulous mother figures in our lives - we hope you’re having a happy and relaxing Sunday!And to the Bush Wanderlust podcast’s very own Katie Watson, a super amazing Mum-of-three – we hope you got a sleep-in this morning.Another amazing Mum we’re lucky enough to know is a girl from Walgett named Katie Murray. She’s a great Mum to four gorgeous young children, a generous and kick-ass small businesswoman and a very good friend of the Bush Wanderlust team.Katie’s loyal, motivating, infectiously fun, the life of the party and more often than not the organiser of the party too. Everyone needs someone like Katie in their lives and the Murray children Phoebe, Major, Adelaide and Minnie have definitely hit the jackpot scoring her as their mum.So it came as no surprise that the Burren Junction Country Women’s Association would ask Katie to be the guest speaker at the town’s beautifully restored School of Arts Hall to talk about her fast-paced city life before she took the plunge and packed up to move to Walgett in Outback NSW. They also asked her to speak about what inspired her to set-up the gift, homewares and coffee shop Stone's Throw.Stoners, as it’s affectionately known, really has become so much more than just a shop: it’s a social hub of activity, an accidental counselling booth for locals, the buzz of the main street, a beautiful place to escape, laugh and catch up and the heartbeat of a resilient community which has copped more than its fair share of dust storms and drought.We thought we’d share Katie’s speech from the CWA event with you today to not only celebrate wonderful and adaptable Mums just like her, but also because the CWA is made up of so many Mums who work tirelessly to make the bush a better place to live.Katie started off by thanking the CWA and holding up a card with the word laugh written on it - how could we not?!
