With the outbreak of World War Two, she moved to Brisbane to finish her education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReturning to her beloved Territory, Jacqueline met and married stockman Ken Hammar, and they moved to a vast property in one of the most inaccessible areas of Australia, transporting corrugated iron and cutting down trees to build a crude hut to live in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith only a kerosene stove, scant possessions and a bed, Jacqueline lived a harsh and isolated existence. Her determination and courage helped her survive many hardships, including having to eat pigweed and sweet potato vines when food was scarce. Meanwhile, she supported Ken as he turned huge tracts of wilderness into a prosperous million-acre cattle station.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaughter of the Territory\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to a life well lived.
