Rachael Treasure

Rachael Treasure is a brilliant young author with three best sellers to her name: Jillaroo, The Stockman and Rouseabout. Indeed, she now has such a following that Rouseabout needed to have a reprint only 2 days after release!
The Stockman, although partly fictitious,  is based on the origins of the Australian Kelpie and is a great read, suitable for Kelpie lovers of all ages.
But Rachael is not just an accomplished author. She is a country girl, wife and a mother and farms in Tasmania with her husband John where they raise merinos and prime lambs and have two beautiful children.

 Rachael and John are passionate about Kelpies and Collies (which they breed and train) and the famous Waler horses which sealed their reputations as that magnificent horse that carried the Australian Light Horse Regiments.
