[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”3271″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]I was born in Adelaide, went on to Torrens C.A.E. and then taught at Koonibba Aboriginal School, Ceduna Area School, Pt Broughton Area School, Minlaton Primary School and Strathalbyn Primary School.

In 1983 I worked as a governess/housekeeper on Commonwealth Hill Station, north-west of Tarcoola.

I am married with a twenty three year-old daughter, three adult step-children, four grand-daughters and two grandsons. I work two days a week in the Resource Centre at Eastern Fleurieu School, teaching creative writing and doing literature studies with classes.

I love gardening and have an organic orchard and vegetable garden. I also love food…and cooking up a storm! My favourite food is chocolate.

I have had six children’s picture books published
