NotesThe artist arrived in Western Australia, with two of her sisters, as a British Child Migrant in December 1947 aboard SS Asturias to "a new start after World War II?" **NOT FOUND ON PASSENGER LIST**

Our destination was Nazareth House, Geraldton, 300 miles north of Perth. We celebrated Christmas and my ninth birthday shortly after our arrival. It was vastly different from our previous experiences, a totally different environment: very dry, parched and extremely hot, not really to my liking.

Over the years I have grown to appreciate Western Australia - its unique flora, fauna, incredible scenery, wide open spaces under clear blue skies make it a perfect environment for our easy going lifestyle.

My two sisters returned to the UK after spending a few years here and both married and settled in Scotland. I remained, married an Australian and became an Australian citizen.

This has given me unlimited freedom of choice and opportunities to pursue my dreams and lead a very fortunate life.
