After battling through drought, bush fires and falling commodity prices, many of Australia's young farmers - - - - are facing a growing challenge - the lack of single women - - - - in the outback.

- - - - A quick glance - - - - at a map of some of this vast continent's agricultural areas highlights their dilemma.

Many properties are miles - - - - from anywhere and the isolated lives and long hours means meeting potential partners - - - - is almost - - - - impossible .

But the National Farmers' Federation has come - - - - up with an ice-breaking plan to try - - - - to help.

It has teamed up - - - - with a women's magazine and next month - - - - will launch a 'Find a Wife for a Farmer Campaign'. The magazine will - - - - act as a dating agency.

Sarah Jones from - - - - the Farmers' Federation admitted the project faced - - - - an uphill battle to help the - - - - lonely hearts of the outback.

"They do meet some lovely young women but sadly - - - - these girls do not want to move back to rural areas," she said. "They want to continue with - - - - their careers and as far as they're concerned, giving that - - - - up to move back to the Bush is not part - - - - of the plan."
