Emily Langron

Meet Emily Langron. Emily is a primary school teacher living and working in Townsville in Far North Queensland. When she’s not surviving tropical cyclones and going out to cattle stations in the school holidays, she is bringing goats and other farm yard animals into her school to teach the kids about farming. Originally from Warren, she’s living a long way from home but has travelled the world and attributes her independence to skills she learnt at boarding school.
