About Our Guest
Born and grew up in Geraldton WA when the baker still delivered the bread by horse and cart and the milk man left the milk in a billy on the mail box.
Married at 18 to a farmer, had four daughters. After 20 years farming ran different businesses from a cafe to a charter boat to the Abrolhos islands. Started over again at 46, built a career in business administration in Perth, retired at 64. I have 12 grandchildren.
I have survived breast cancer and now living in a small coastal town on the west coast.
My Birth Year
In each episode of My Birth Year, we are going to choose a year between 1945 and 1999 and highlight some the big news events from that year as well as remembering some of the biggest selling songs, most popular movies and, for episodes from 1956 onwards, the most popular TV shows.
In the second part of each episode, we’ll introduce a guest - someone who was born in our feature year. We’ll talk about their memories of their childhood, their youth and their adult years.
These are real stories about real people. We can't wait to share them with you!
