Almost my entire life has been spent in the beautiful Western Downs town of Chinchilla, Qld (the Watermelon Capital of Australia) where I live with my husband Larry and our two adult children.  We were farm kids living on opposite sides of town, so it was an easy decision to stay put and raise our son and daughter surrounded by the community we both knew and loved.

​

As small business owners, we have enjoyed the opportunity to support local clubs and charities - we understand the importance of fostering and nurturing communities, particularly in rural areas.

When my good friend Cheryl asked if I was interested in joining her on the Shitbox Rally, I was SOOO excited; not only to be sharing the experience of this crazy adventure but also for the opportunity to support the remote rural communities we visit throughout the trip.  Having worked in a rural charity I understand how vital these communities are to the tapestry of this great nation, and just how much of a difference each dollar injected into these communities can make.

​

I’m known for doing a few crazy things in my time - like dressing up in a tutu each week as a show of support for loved ones facing adversity (I called it Tulle Therapy), but I never thought I’d be participating in a Shitbox Rally!  With my brother currently undergoing Cancer treatment and Larry’s father and brother recently facing cancer journeys, I’m filled with inspiration, motivation, and determination to break out my tutus and wield some tulle therapy to help Cancer Council KICK CANCER'S BUTT!

Let’s go!
