When we escaped from the rat-race of Sydney to move to the beautiful Snowy Mountains back in 2000 our lives were transformed in so many ways.  A new home, new business, new friends and eventually, new babies!  It took me on a journey I could never have imagined and led me down a new life path indeed…

That path for me was poetry and story taking.  I guess it is fair to say I was mesmerized by the tales of hardship and high country heroics that were second nature to these remarkable and resilient men and women.  It was a million miles away from my upbringing in Redfern, yet just the images I had firmly fixed in my memory from the Banjo Paterson poetry my Father would read to me as a small child.  I guess my love of poetry began there, I just never knew I could write it until much later in life…
