“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”

“Mum is really important to me because she is really nice. We go bike-riding, we go walking, we go travelling, lots of things. We have been to different parts of the world; Bali, China, Africa, across the Nullarbor. China was pretty cool and I speak a bit of it, we used to learn it atContinue reading “Piper”

“There have been many happy times in my life. I grew up on a dairy farm, my dad was a dairy farmer and I was never going to marry a dairy farmer. We grew up near Murray Bridge, both Graham and I, went to the same high school in Murray Bridge so we knew eachContinue reading “Dianne”

“We are slightly different now but people still get us mixed up. We are close but like the idea of being an individual as many times growing up we were referred to as ‘the twins.’ We have both obtained our diploma in childcare and spent many years in the childcare sector. At school we usedContinue reading “Karene”

“I was born in Darwin and moved to KI when I was 11 or 12 years old; I am a 7th generation islander. Our family moved here in 1860; Henry Snelling is our great ancestor, our bloodline. My great, great grandfather John Florance moved here in the 1880s; we have been here for a fair while. Dad came from aContinue reading “Sam”

“We were both in the same year at school. We had never spoken and I started to work at the same Coles supermarket that he was working at. I can still remember my first conversation with him. He was working, I was there shopping with my parents and I literally said ‘Hello, I’ve just gotContinue reading “Brooke”

“We had three significant deaths in three years. We all had post-traumatic stress after Dad died as it was fairly traumatic and sudden. That was in 2003 and there are still moments and pockets of time where you feel like you’re back there a bit. Grief is a huge part of our lives and learning toContinue reading “Kate”
Maggie
“I don’t know how you’re going to fit my life into a little chapter like this. I was always a go-getter. I made the rules, I made the decisions, I did the things rather than being influenced by other people. I’ve done so many things, I have forgotten a lot of them. I’ve travelled all over theContinue reading “Maggie”
