Desperately Seeking Sheila

Desperately Seeking Sheila takes a warm-hearted look at a little known crisis affecting our blokes in the bush: an outback love drought. In rural Western Australia alone, single men outnumber single women three times over. With many of these women preferring a career and city-life to life in the bush, the odds are clearly stacked against these bush bachelors.

The WA Farmer’s Federation, knowing that it’s almost impossible to run a farm of any size single-handedly, raised the issue publicly in the hope of averting a significant social and economic crisis. This became the inspiration for Desperately Seeking Sheila.

This series takes an entertaining and affectionate look at four love-starved bush bachelors looking for more than a roll in the hay. Here they have a chance at finding a genuine life-long partner. No gimmicks. No instant celebrities. No bull. (Source: SBS)
