I am a retired historian, archivist, curator and heraldry officer living in Australia. My love of history is centred around military, maritime, medicine and social histories.

I'm currently doing a second Bachelors Degree in Creative Arts and Health through the University of Tasmania. The course focuses on mental health and the application of creative arts to assist people with dementias and the elderly.

I am a Mum of many and Grandma/Nan to many more. I am a budding photographer. The more I photograph the more fun I'm having. I mainly use my iPhone 11, or a Nikon D5600 DSLR.
