“My name is Stephanie Bennett and I am originally from Nowra, where I grew up doing Physie every week since the age of four.
When I met the love of my life, a farmer,who happened to live in the ‘middle of nowhere’, I knew Physie was something I had to bring with me to the bush!
Coonamble Physical Culture Club has started this term in the small rural town of North Western NSW. We are a club of girls who spend most of our days either going to school, mustering livestock or driving for up to 80 km to get to Physie!
