Come-by-Chance, Australia

May McKeown looks up at the stars as she stands in the front yard of her 6,000 acre property.

May, aged 78, lives and works on her property mostly alone as her son is constantly traveling.

She inspects the property and hand-feeds her cattle daily, writing poems in her spare time about her lonely life on the flat north-west plains.
