In the 1960s Mare and Jeff Carter staged their own â€~Sea Change'. Swapping city life for a cottage in the Australian bush, Mare was searching for a better way to live and bring up their children. But she soon discovered life had lot more in store for her. Within months hers had become a surrogate home for orphaned and injured wildlife: a string of lovable wombats, a solitary but sexually frustrated kangaroo, madcap emus, eagles, wallabies, dingos and many more. Ultimately Mare's farm became one of Australia's most popular wildlife sanctuaries, attracting more than 25,000 visitors a year. But A WILD LIFE is much more than a captivating story of creatures great and small. It is the memoir of an extraordinary woman, determined to follow a different life path and live out her dream against all the odds. Mare writes with warmth and humour about her very unconventional family and of the realities â€" both harsh and hilarious â€" of living in the wild.
