I was born in Ceduna in 1940 and raised on a farm on the edge of Nullabor Plains in remote South Australia. My paternal and maternal grandparents pioneered much of the lands around us which is still owned by our families.

I was a shy well behaved girl as all children were expected to be in those days...seen but not heard...until I went to boarding school and saw there was a different way of life; a life I longed for; a life full of fun and laughter.

Slowly as I made my way in life through many trials and tribulations I unwittingly transformed into a competent, capable, outspoken successful business woman in the days when the general belief was women were put on this earth to support and pamper men.

I had been groomed to marry a farmer.....a neighboring farmer to conveniently merge farmland properties.

Fortunately, as innocent as I was, I had other ideas....and escaped to an unknown world.

Follow this world in my three part autobiography soon available from Smashwords.

Book 1. EUNICE. 1940 to 1960. My first twenty years. Isolated, protected, suppressed.
Book 2. EMERGENCE OF EUNICE. 1960 to 1990. Title says it all....through the era's of . woman's liberation, equality of the sexes and swinging sixties.
Book 3. EUNICE EMERGED. 1990 to 2020. My second life in a whole new world of technology.

I am still alive, fit and healthy and continue to enjoy my hobbies:-
Sewing - I never buy clothes, I can have what I want... I make them... so why not?
Squash- I still play competitively... it keeps my body and mind active and alert.
Socialising with Red Hat groups... woman over 50 who don't want the world to pass them by, we wear red hats and purple frocks in social groups, we don't go un-noticed.
…...and my new hobby... writing.

I figure as I am an Octogenarian I have the liberty to truthfully document my years on this earth... years that were so different from today.

I particularly wanted to document the way of life lived in the mid 20th century to answer many questions from my grandchildren for their descendants.
