Mouse plagues, lockdowns and social media stardom at the Collie Hotel with Tom Hancock

Five years ago, Tom and Emily Hancock were in the market for a new spray rig when they saw a country pub come up for sale for the same price. Today, they might be the most famous publicans in Australia. If you haven’t heard of the Collie Hotel you might just be living under a virtual rock. To their 14,000 odd Instagram followers Tom and Emily Hancock broadcast videos that depict the hilarious mundanities and contradictions of country pub patrons - videos that have put Collie Hotel on the map. Satirising all walks of country life, from stock and station agents to contract harvesters to hens party attendees, Tom acts alongside his daughter Eliza while Emily films, often while juggling their new baby on her hip. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/humans-of-agriculture/message
