She now lives on the side of kunanyi (Mt Wellington) in Tasmania, not too far from the Central Plateau where this story begins. The North-West Bay River runs past her property and where the river meets the sea she works as a storytelling teacher at the local Primary School.For a number of years, Karen and her family were Reserve Managers on isolated conservation reserves both in the Simpson Desert and outside of Broken Hill. They worked hard to repair and support the country and lived deeply entwined and connected to the landscape.Whenever possible, Karen will be found writing, bushwalking or swimming in the beautiful Tasmanian wilderness.voir moins
