Head over Heels

Head over Heels : A Story of Tragedy, Triumph and Romance in the Australian Bush

Sam & Jenny Bailey

A true Australian love story that was the subject of one of Australian Story’s highest rated shows ever.
At the age of nineteen, a young farmer, Sam Bailey, miscalculated a bend in the road, overturned his ute and became a quadriplegic. After months of struggle, he learned how to resume his life as a farmer, running a sheep and cattle property in northwest New South Wales. Then he met and fell in love with Jenny Black, an ABC Rural journalist, proposed to her on air, and the rest is history. Jenny tells Sam’s story in his own laconic, wry style. By turns romantic, funny and moving, it affirms the strength of iron-willed determination and the power of love.

A true love story that will tug at the heart strings
