Tom Curtain was living his dream training horses for outback cattle stations, until the suspension of the livestock export trade in 2011 saw his work literally dry up overnight. With bills to pay and the local cattle industry facing financial ruin, Tom knew going back out bush wasn't an option. So, to make ends meet he dusted off his guitar and started singing at a local caravan park.
In this episode Tom speaks about how he overcame that significant setback to build a successful business and win a number of Golden Guitar awards. He is joined by his wife Annabelle, and together they share the story of how they met while Tom was hitch-hiking on the side of the road.
