About this listen
'Once I was the poster boy for corporate success, but now I’m crashing through the bush in a storm in search of a missing pig. How the hell did we end up here?'
Todd and Jeff have had enough of the city. Sick of the daily grind and workaday corporate shenanigans, they throw caution to the wind and buy 100 acres in the Hunter Valley, intent on living a golden bucolic life and building a fabulous B&B, where they can offer the joys of country life to heart-weary souls. Todd will cook; Jeff will renovate. They can make wine and grow their own food and live the dream. How hard can it be?
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

“This joyously honest account will make you laugh till it hurts and shed more than a few tears while being captivated by Todd, Jeff and their menagerie of loveable animals.” (Bradley Trevor Greive Am, author of Penguin Bloom)

I really enjoyed this story.
A light and funny book. Reminded me a bit of 'My Family and Other Animals ' by Gerald Durrell.
Unlike most books that start strong and often loose momentum this one starts a little slower but picks up.

Full of fun and giggles
Had me chuckling aloud on more than one occasion. Highly recommend, especially if you’re ever dreamt of a tree change.

Sweet and relatable story
I enjoyed this book way more than I expected. The author really does a good job of describing their experiences of their journey in a relatable and funny way. It is lovely to listen to them make their mistakes and feeling judged by their new community and how they deal with it by persisting to achieve their goal. It makes you want to go out and visit them!
Just browsing through some of the reviews and everybody who whines about the “vegan rant”: wake up! This man is just explaining why HE decided to go vegan and what that has meant for him and his lifestyle. If you think this is a rant, you clearly have never been on the receiving end of a rant before! Just because he makes a solid argument and you can’t deal with it, doesn’t mean you have to put him and his book down.

Sight over Sound
A friend reccomended the hard cover to me, so thought I would Audible it. I can see the “laugh out loud” moments, but I really think you would get more entertainment by reading it yourself. When listening to certain situations in the book, I think an imaginative visual rather than the actual audio you hear.....
Does that even make sense??? I just think it’s better hard cover than listening

Great and Entertaining
Loved this book, the narration of the book made listening to these chapters more enjoyable. The tales or entertaining but one can picture these events as they seem so realistic.
Definitely worth a read / listen. Can't wait for the next book.
