Anglican mission farm, near Popondetta, Papua New
Guinea. She has wonderful memories of this time,
and especially loved running through jungles and
swimming in local rivers.
She and her family travelled to Minlaton in South

she fi nished her school years and trained as nurse.
Th e family then moved to Esperance in Western Australia where she raised her
two sons Tony and Chris after leaving a volatile relationship.
