SOUTHERN GIRL
The deep south isnt where you might expect to find a finishing school for young women but then the Southern Girl Finishing School isnt about learning etiquette or elocution. The girls here are taught how to jumpstart a tractor, handle sheep, fire a shotgun and crack a whip and their teacher, Laura Douglas - who moved from finance to farming - is a fine example of a southern girl. We meet her in her Kingston Station maimai.
