205: Anna Brown was pregnant with her third child when her husband died

In 1989, Anna Brown visited a remote property in the Northern Territory which led her on an adventure that changed her life. She went on to nanny at Newcastle Waters Station, owned by the Packer family at the time...It's there she met her future husband Geoff. Years later, their fairytale turned into heartbreak. Anna was seven months’ pregnant with their third child when Geoff died suddenly at age 32. Unbelievably, just a couple of years later, Anna also lost her brother in an accident. Anna and her children eventually made the move to Bathurst, where she picked up the pieces, and established her recruitment business, Anna Brown Recruitment. Anna is very bravely sharing her story with Motherland, including how she survived the unimaginable, and the heartbreak of leaving the station and starting a new chapter. This is her story.
