SARA HENDERSON BIOGRAPHY - FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

An Autobiography by Sara Henderson

I was now 52 years old, I had lost my husband, my mother, a daughter in litigation, and now it seemed Marless was lost in grief forever . . . I couldn't see the point in going on.

But as testament to her resilience, Sara Henderson did go on, and three years later she was named the 1991 Bulletin/Qantas Businesswoman of the Year. That award acknowledged Sara's astounding transformation of a debt ridden cattle station the size of metropolitan Sydney into a working property worth millions. What is didn't acknowledge was the remkarbable history behind this pioneering woman.

In 1960 Sara married Charles Henderson III, an Americn war hero and shipping magnate. Three years of luxury expatriate life in Manila and Hong Kong could not have prepared Sara for what was to come - what she calls the world's most demanding, humiliating and challening obstacle course any human could be expected to endure. Nor could it have prepared her for her new home - a tin shack in a milion acres of red dust, Bullo River.

After twenty years of struggle and back breaking work on their remote Northern Australian station. Charles's death revealed that Sara had not only been left with a floundering property but also a heart breaking mountain of debt.

With very little to lose, Sara and her daughters, Marlene and Danielle, took up the challenge of rebuilding Bullo Rover . .. with tremendous results. Now, as the age of 55, Sara's life is beginning all over again.
