Australian Story

Weekend at Weetalaba (20x20)

:

It is a love story that captivated millions. Mac and Gayle Shann remain Australian Story's most popular couple and after much demand from viewers the program is revisiting their story. In 2003 our cameras documented Gayle's recovery from an horrific farming accident which caused the loss of one arm and the use of her other. Her devoted husband, Mac, became her 'hands', helping guide her through the darkest of times. When the story first aired it attracted a strong response from viewers who were captivated by the young couples' bond and determination to stay living on a remote cattle station. This week we catch up with Gayle and Mac at a camp draft at Weetalaba Station, near Collinsville in Central Queensland.
