Raising A Family in The Desert | Struggle Street

Living in poverty is hard, but could you live in poverty during a tough drought? Meet individuals and families from different parts of the New South Wales Riverina area who are facing a range of challenges – from homelessness, to drought, and a crime wave that’s swept through parts of Wagga Wagga. Mason and Katherine live in the Wagga suburb of Tolland with their two-year-old daughter Suzianna. After returning to their house after a night away with friends they find their house has been ransacked and valuables stolen. Will they be able to find trust in the community again or will they seek a better life elsewhere for their daughter? Barry and Rosey are dairy farmers near Deniliquin. They haven’t seen decent rain on their farm in four years. It’s the worst drought in living memory and it means they’ll soon have to make some tough decisions. Will they be forced to sell their herd of cattle - or even the farm – before the rains finally come? Seventy two year old Bob has been on the road cycling from town to town for over 40 years, working in a variety of jobs from fruit picking to general labouring. In that time Bob has lived in his trusty tent and never had a home to call his own. But eight months ago Bob came off his bike. Doctors have told Bob he needs to stay put to receive medical attention. Can he re-adjust to a life in town, in a house and off the open road?
