She enjoys visits to the cinema and theatre, amateur photography and reading - mainly autobiographies. In the sixties she and her new husband, Geoff, emigrated to Australia, travelling by ship to Perth, Western Australia. After a year in Perth they travelled overland (across the Nullarbor Plain) from Perth to Melbourne in Victoria, where they settled and had a family.
Inspiration for this book was mainly to record a family and social history of this period, but also to give some insight for those interested in Australia and of immigration at that time, so different from today, but with similar problems.
Sandra and Geoff currently live in Leicester in the UK with their cat (Kitty) and two lovebirds (Bonnie and Clyde). Their daughter returned to Melbourne in 2000 to study at the University, where she met Matt. They married in 2008 and are now living in Northcote, a suburb of Melbourne with their Rag Doll cat (Wesley) and Staffordshire bull terrier, (Freddie).view less
