Head Over Heels

Sam Bailey suffered a spinal injury in a car accident when jackerooing in the Northern Territory at 19-years-of-age, leaving him a C6/C7 quadriplegic. Against the odds, he returned to the family farm and fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a farmer. In 1999 Sam married ABC Radio Rural Reporter, Jenny Black, after proposing to her live on ABC Regional Radio. Today they live and work together on their 1250 hectare beef cattle property in northern New South Wales, in between travelling the country telling their story and giving inspiration to others.

Jenny Black spent 17 years as a newspaper and radio journalist before marrying Sam Bailey. She now helps Sam run their Croppa Creek farm and together they're about to start writing his next book. Jenny is a keen horse rider and artist.
