She went on to become a qualified ladies' hairdresser before marrying and having two children. Later, she went to university and was awarded a Bachelor of Applied Science in librarianship followed by a Post Graduate Diploma in business. Her employment included Head Librarian in various public libraries and Manager of a newly formed computer service in local government. Throughout her life, she was intensely keen on natural history with a particular interest in birds and their behaviour. A chance encounter led to professional work in this area for over 25 years. Throughout her life, she always had an interest in Western Australian history. When Covid 19 brought lockdowns, this interest flourished and an underlying curiosity in family history was satisfied. Research led to more and deeper knowledge of her past relatives and she felt this information should be shared. The product is this book.view less
