A Family’s succession story: The Longworths Part 1

The Longworth’s run South Bunarba - a large property near Mungindi in northern NSW, just south of the QLD border. It’s been in the family for 4 generations, and succession planning has been something the family have talked about for years. The kids always thought they’d come home one day, but when they were thrown the curve ball of a divorce and a sudden illness, their best laid plans were put to the test. In this episode – sisters Rebecca and Annette, and Annette’s husband Sam – recount the first year of upheaval that brought them all home.
