“I love those moments where you say, ‘Wow, I am really happy right now,’ and for me, that is pretty much anytime I am somewhere in nature and somewhere where you’re away from the city and people when you can kind of just be and exist. I love forests and I love the sea; IContinue reading “Jemma”

“My parents separated when I was five, so I moved around a lot as a kid living between them. My earliest memories are of time spent in remote Aboriginal communities in the NT and central Australia. It’s where we lived for the first few years of my life. My parents were both working so IContinue reading “Louis”

“As long as I’ve got some land around, I am happy. If I lived in a town, I don’t know but I suppose you’d adjust to anything if you’d had a decent garden or something, maybe I’d get by.  But I just love having the space and the land, so I suppose I possibly couldContinue reading “Barb”

“It’s been 3 years that I am in Australia now, and since I am here, I feel like I am me. I can do whatever I want and when I want and go with who I want and be myself. Since I am in Australia, I am just happy. I know it might have anContinue reading “Romane”

“I have a lot to thank Mum and Dad for, especially Mum with her love of books, languages, music and encouragement.

Over there, sometimes we didn’t have enough money to buy certainContinue reading “Shakira”

With grandmother, you could come with everything to her, it stayed on with me in life. Grandmother lived there inContinue reading “Gisela”

“Ever since I was little, I have wanted to be a palaeontologist one day. I really enjoy going with my Dad to the Emu Bay Shale or similar areas that we have travelled to, like Winton QLD, searching and digging around for fossils and trilobites, that sort of thing. I love doing it. It isContinue reading “Jack”

“The separation from my husband was my toughest time but my kids, even my business kept me going and not long after, I found new love. My partner has been such a huge backer of everything I do, he’s always been so supportive, pushes me to try other things, he’s great like that. I’ve alwaysContinue reading “Fiona”

“I ran a theatre company in Adelaide for ten years and formed some extraordinary relationships with different actors and crew. Those friendships are still strong. We used to put on shows in very unusual venues, like the Old Adelaide Gaol, the Botanic Gardens and Old Parliament House was a ripper one too. The first oneContinue reading “Alice”
