You might know Giaan Rooney as an Olympic swimmer - she won a gold medal for Australia in the 2004 Athens Olympics as part of the 4 x 100m medley relay team. And you might have seen her on TV, presenting everything from the weather to Postcards. But did you know this one time athlete is now also a macadamia farmer? Along with her fifth-generation farmer husband Sam and their kids, Giaan now lives on a farm in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.
