Episode Synopsis

For many years now, New Zealand born Fiona Baird has been bringing fun, fashion and a feverishly hard work ethic to her work as a stock woman on live export shipments from Australia throughout all of South East Asia. Her story is so unique because she doesn’t allow the grit and grime of working with animals all day, dampen her style standards of well done hair and strong red lipstick. But it wasn’t always about live export for Fi, she’s lived a colourful life, with a few stops and starts since her childhood days on a farm in the south island of New Zealand. We started by asking her – on reflection – how she feel about the path she's led so far.You can about her story and she some beautiful images of her in the Spring Edition on sale now in your local stockist, or you can gift a subscription to a friend at graziher.com.au.Thank you to this week's sponsor Blundstone Australia.And thank you so much for your warm welcome of this new podcast.
