I grew up between Wilcannia & Tilpa on my family sheep & cattle station that was named after my Great Grandparents. After moving just 100 kms upstream my husband Stuart & I, along with our sons, "two sets of twins & one in the middle", have our family sheep station on the banks of the Darling, "Yathonga Station".
Like myself our sons completed their primary school via Broken Hill School of The Air. The youngest, Wilbur and Charlie are away at boarding school. They are in year 12 at Scots All Saints, Bathurst. So after 18 years of boarding school we are on the downhill run to the finish line. Nicholas is based at home. Tom lives in Adelaide. David, continues to work in the Agriculture industry since finishing boarding school. He lives in Orange with his family and has his own contracting business.
After being the Secretary for the Louth Branch for last few years finally passing on the mantle a few years ago I am back on the executive now as the Publicity Officer. I have also had a family involvement with ICPA for many years.
As a State Councillor I continue to be excited about making a real difference for our rural & remote children and their families. "No one can be a bigger advocate for your child than yourself" I like to say. I continue to look forward to working with all the other Councillors to make that difference.
