A couple have swapped hectic city living for a quiet life in the outback where post comes just once a week - and it takes FOUR HOURS to travel to buy groceries. Australians Sally Grace Millar, 31, and her husband Ed Shaw, 33, decided to trade in their busy life in January this year and haven’t looked back. After initially being apprehensive about moving to somewhere she had no idea even existed, Sally has now fallen in love with her new home. The tiny community in the East Kimberly region, Western Australia, has just one school and the rest are residential properties. There are no bars, restaurants or shops and the nearest grocery store is over 250km away, leaving them to shop just once a month. But the couple are enjoying their new community so much that they have both signed contracts to stay for at least another year. Sally, an early years educator, described that her new lifestyle has opened her up to a whole new world. She said: “Before the pandemic, I worked in children’s theatre, but once COVID hit I couldn’t do that anymore. “I’ve now been introduced to the whole industry of remote teaching and it is SO exciting. “People ask me all the time why I would want to leave here and I think ‘you have seen where I live, right?’ “I think this place might just be the most incredible place on earth." Sally was surprised when her then-boyfriend Ed proposed the idea of moving to a tiny remote location to teach for six months. The couple had converted their 2015 Mercedes Benz Sprinter into a campervan in early 2021 and were traveling the whole country when they found themselves in Western Australia. They fell in love with the state and jumped on Ed’s new job opportunity. They soon settled into their new life in the middle of nowhere - with Ed as the assistant principal of the community’s only school. The change of pace has been hard to get used to - with their friends and family a five-and-a-half day drive away, they have had to find innovative ways to spend their weekends. Sally said: “It’s been hard not being close to friends and family. The last time we went home cost $4500 (AUD) - it’s so expensive that you don’t really have the option. “We can’t just go out to a bar so we have to make more fun for ourselves, like camping, hiking and exploring on weekends to keep entertained. “We have found so many wonderful places and had such amazing experiences that we would never know even existed before this.” The pair will be remaining in their East Kimberly community for the next year and are open to a forever-rural lifestyle, now they’re used to the outback. Sally hopes that sharing their unique lifestyle will show people rural life is far from boring. She said: “I used to feel so bad for people living out in the small places, but now I’m here I think it’s so cool and I’m really enjoying it. “We don’t have all the stuff you get in a city, but we have loads of other things that are fun and exciting. “I have kangaroos in my back garden and the school has their very own crocodile visitor - it’s great!”
