Christina Hindhaugh has lived on a sheep farm in the 'red gum' country of Western Victoria with her farmer husband and their three children. She has written for Farm magazine, the Age and the West Australian, and has traveled around Australia promoting the lives and experiences of country women. In 1986 she published a biography of her sister Tamara Fraser, wife of former Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser. Hindhaugh has also written two plays and is co-producer of a documentary film, The First Eleven, which tells the story of the Aboriginal cricket team who toured England in 1868.
Having begun producing culinary and medicinal herbs on the family farm at Balmoral, Hindhaugh was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to study the herb industry overseas. Upon her return, together with a farming neighbour, she established Australia's largest rosemary farm, and published a book on herbs, herb gardening and her experience with herb growers around the globe while travelling, The Great Herb Tour (2000). Hindhaugh has also published works on the Hamilton district of Victoria.
