Country Roots
Scott McBain is originally a country boy from Naracoorte in the South East of South Australia. Growing up, being educated, and starting his working life in Naracoorte instilled a strong country ethic in Scott. His love of the bush has seen him maintain lifelong friendships with mates he considers himself lucky to have — those who stayed on the land.
