About me

I was born in Newcastle. I resided in Purfleet [Taree South] with my parents. My parents separated, my mother heard that the government was still removing children from single mothers. She moved to Brisbane where we resided at a haven for migrants. Before 1967 Aboriginal people were not considered Australians therefore Aboriginal people were accepted at the migrant hostel called OPAL House. OPAL house was started by Joyce and Frank Wilding & Marg Hutchison. Marg was also a RN and attended to amy health issues with residence of OPAL House...all have since died...and what a sad loss too, I loved them all.

I went to many primary schools in Brisbane & one high school. I was abandoned by my mother as a teen. I realised I had to cope on my own and am still a person who is still content to live alone. I worked at many nursing homes, QLD Spastic centre, Royal Brisbane Hospital.

I have two daughter & five grand-children all of whom I adore dearly. Sadly one of my grand-daughters died from SIDS. I empathyse with anyone who looses a child, the pain is so deep and slowly easing.

I have undertaken many certificates of study and still going...eternal student. I have worked as a nurse, children's aide, education officer & now Discovery Ranger with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service. I would like to eventualy become a Medical Scientist as I would like to research various diseases, [updated 4th Dec 2010] I wand so bad to finiish my Laboratory Tech course, but it is not offered here in Dubbo...so there is a delay in finishing. I have since completed a heavy vehicle course here in Dubbo TAFE and just have to go for the learners test then work up the hours, and hopefully achieve an HR [heavy ridgid] licence, the HC [heavy combination] I might try for later.

I'm a loner, I have a few very dear friends which I have known for many years. I have found a beautiful caring guy for a long term relationship, I know I would be too eccentric to live with.

I don't believe in using people for wealth, power or position. I treat people as I would like to be treated. I am very empathetic to the needs & problems of other people.

I am a person who speaks my mind, I can be abraseing when the wording is needed. I prefer to argue in a constructive manner. I don't like it when people use & abuse others with harsh words or behaviour to make themselves look good.
