FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS, Jo Runciman has had a precious sanctuary. It’s somewhere to go on weekends, or whenever life feels a bit much. “As soon as I get on the freeway, the weight lifts off my shoulders,” says Jo who splits her time between her home in Sydney’s Northern Beaches and her farm in Dungog, New South Wales, on the traditional lands of the Koori people of the Gringai tribe. “I just love the country, and the farm is my happy place.”
