A young couple's devotion to restoring a half-million-acre property decimated by decades of drought and overstocking has struck a chord with Australian Story viewers far and wide, who have flooded the station's managers with messages of support.

David Pollock and Frances Jones recently told of their dream to nurse their property in the Murchison Rangelands, seven hours' drive north of Perth, "back to health".

After the story went to air, viewers from around Australia and as far flung as Vietnam, Canada, America and England took to social media to applaud their efforts.

"We have been overwhelmed with support. It took me three days to sort through the thousands of comments on Facebook and Twitter and I'm only now starting to read through my clogged email inbox," Ms Jones said.

It is further proof that stories about life on the land really resonate, even with those who have never stepped foot in Australia's outback.

"This is not just an Australian Story - it's the story of the century. It's the story of the triumph of wisdom over greed, of passion over pessimism," Australian Story viewer David O'Rose posted to the program's Facebook page.

"This couple deserve all the support we can offer them, especially from our government. Keep going and have many children David and Frances. You are legends.

"Who could believe the changes that you have brought about to the land? Well done is too little an accolade," Australian Story viewer Suzie Storck wrote.

Pollock's experiment shocked neighbours

Australian Story followers said they were fascinated to hear how eight years ago, Mr Pollock, then aged 27, inherited the family's pastoral lease through a dramatic and unexpected approach to family succession.

Shocking his neighbours, he immediately took the radical move of destocking all cattle from the station, turned off all man-made watering points to reduce kangaroo and wild goat populations, and built infrastructure and earthworks to replicate natural ecosystems.

Six months into his experiment, Ms Jones, then aged 18, arrived at Wooleen Station during her "gap year" from her lush, green urban life in the Macedon Ranges in Victoria.

She planned on only staying two weeks but she fell in love with both the property and Mr Pollock.

Ms Jones and Mr Pollock are now partners in undertaking one of the most ambitious land rehabilitation experiments in the country.

Farmers, conservationists, tourists and artists express support

"I watched this story tonight and what an inspirational young couple, thank you Frances and David! I'm sure you will be a significant part of Australia's history," Australian Story viewer Monica Spender wrote.

"A wonderful illustration of people who understand, love and care for rural and remote Australia - great story and thank you to David and Frances. If we look after the land, it will look after us tenfold! They are great young leaders," Australian Story viewer Lindsay Cane wrote.

The past two years have seen the couple battle drought conditions with next to no rain but Ms Jones and Mr Pollock say their spirits were boosted by the words of encouragement.

"It is nice to know we're not alone in this. Hopefully what we're doing inspires - I wouldn't say pastoralists necessarily because they're already pretty inspired - but it inspires the support for pastoralists so that pastoralists could also do what we're doing," Mr Pollock said.

"Pastoralists that I know all want to look after the land, that's why they're there, they love the land. They just need a little backup to be able to do more of it."

Farmers from across Australia who are working towards the same goals have begun an ideas exchange with the couple.

A large number of conservationists and tourists have expressed an interest in staying at the property while a 'huge number' of artists say they would like to come out and paint.

Pollock and Jones thank viewers in video message

Mr Pollock and Ms Jones have thanked viewers for their support in a video message, sharing the good news that they have finally received some much needed rain.

"We got 17 millimetres of rain the other night, so thanks for your positive vibes on that one," Ms Jones said.

"We'd particularly like to acknowledge all of the farmers, pastoralists and land managers out there that are doing everything that they can to use this land responsibly," Mr Pollock added.

With any luck for the romantics out there, there could even be some more good news to share in the future.

The couple has also been inundated with offers from celebrants and owners of wedding venues should they ever wish to tie the knot.

Letter From Wooleen will be repeated during Australian Story's Summer Series, weeknights at 6:25pm on ABC.
