My dad is like a 6th generation farmer so he is deffinately country but doesnt really listen to any country music and didnt go to bns's and stuff, was more one of those country blokes who just works and rides horses and thats their life, not a whole lot else, made up for it later though.

Mum was born in Scotland and grew up in Kenya and came over to Perth when she was I think 13, in Kenya, her father was a large animal vet so did a lot of horses and was involved in the racing industry in Perth quite a bit, she was always helping with my grandpa on horse studs and farms and rode a lot so she got into the country scene.

Neither of them ever went to bns's but mum went to woolshed parties which she reckons was sorta like bns's. I got forced into my first bns by dad, I had heard all this stuff that had intimidated me out of going, but he got one of the blokes he knows to look after me, and since then, I've become really good mates with that bloke and I'm obsessed with them haha.

my dad grew up in the city but left the minute he finished school to work as a farm hand - has never looked back - we grew up in the country in lots of little country towns thanks to the kind people at elders lol

Dad still lives in the country and is back working as a farm hand lol - funny how life sometimes turns a full circle

he almost forced country music down our throats - slim was his fav but kenny rogers got a look in too - until us kids discovered the gambler and repeated it over and over so much that dad threw the tape out the car window. so thanks to my dad i was born and bred in the country - and wouldn't have it any other way. now i just gotta make sure my kids get enough exposure to the country

Both my parents (and grandparents) were country but my parents moved to the cities when i was about 6. They did keep a block of land for about 10 years after that which we would go camp out at on weekends and holidays but they ended up selling it. Neither are/were particularly 'country' orientated, except for the perhaps the roll up your sleeves and get it done attitiude. On my mums side the family farm is still going i believe over there in WA.

Both my parents grew up in the country, my mum lived on a farm and was a keen member of the local young farmers group which was pretty wild back then and my dad in small country towns across Vic. Both have had occupations that are not what you call country jobs before they got together. Since getting married they have lived in rural Vic and worked in small rural communities and a few years ago bought a beef farm. they bought my siblings and I up with country values and that is why I am involved in the agricultural industry.
