Brettlyn “Beaver” Neal is no ordinary political candidate. A fearless bush cook, personal assistant to Senator Pauline Hanson, and legendary tent boxer with over 350 wins, Beaver is currently tackling the Outback Camel Racing Trail with her faithful camel Barry—despite a broken tailbone.

From the dust of Marree to the finish line in Boulia, Beaver is riding high in the Bullia Cup, the “Melbourne Cup of Camel Racing.” Whether it’s wrestling in Fred Brophy’s tent, crossing India in a tuk-tuk, or cooking yabbies by bushfire, she brings a uniquely Australian spirit to everything she does—including an upcoming bush-style cookbook filled with wild tales, outback humour, and recipes measured in beers and bottles of wine.
