Australian Made

Like this book, Wobblegobs Good Manners, I was born in Australia.

I am 5th generation from convict stock.

My mother gave me love and my father gave me guts and at 82 I am as solid as a rock.

Sir William Dobell was my master and friend who taught me about colour and form.

For 62 years my dear husband Bill has been my back stop.

Dreamtime

Like the Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, my Wobblegob stories come from my dreamtime.

If you can’t see it or feel it, then it is a fairy story.

People all around the world are reading fairy stories.

My Wobblegobs, fairies and goblins you will find in all my books.

Australia

Children today need to know about kindness, love, patience and good manners.

Our grandparents are our heritage and the children of today will be our grandparents of tomorrow.

It is time to say goodbye,

Remember when you live in Australia,

You are an Australian.

Be proud of this country, as she is of you.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!
