When asked where I am from, I never just say “Australia,” I always reply “a small town in Australia.” I only realized I did this a few years ago, after an interview I did with The Sydney Morning Herald was published which said; “Wills says she still considers herself not just Australian but a "small-town" Australian.” ⠀
⠀
I grew up in Port Macquarie, NSW. My Mum on a dairy farm in Wauchope, & my Dad in a tiny town called Leeton, in the NSW Riverina area. ⠀
⠀
My Dad had a footwear agency & his territory was regional NSW, some school holidays I would go on the road with him. We would call on stores in towns from Bourke to Cobar, Warren, Narromine, Dubbo, Forbes, Gundagai, Coonabarrabran & Coonamble – just to name a few. ⠀
⠀
I love small towns. I AM small town. ⠀
⠀
I am delighted to be featured in the new issue of @CountryStyleMag talking about my country childhood, growing up in Port Macquarie. I am also thrilled that this issue is ‘The Art Issue’, dedicated to regional Australia’s thriving art scene.
⠀
As a creative person from a country town, I am also excited to be heading to Wagga Wagga, NSW to present a keynote for @hellohubbhubb at their #Hatched event, March 28th, 2019. ⠀
⠀
I will be speaking on the journey from Port Macquarie to NYC & what I have learnt in business & branding over the past 15 years, + what integral role being from a small town played in the success of the @SamanthaWIllsOfficial brand journey. ⠀
⠀
Thankyou @CountryStyleMag for this feature and for so exquisitely capturing all the beauty that is regional Australia. And thank you also to @HelloHubbHubb for facilitating opportunities for regional creatives and entrepreneurs, I am very looking forward to this event! - SWx ⠀
