MEMOIRS OF A BRIZZIE GIRL

Margaret's memories of growing up in Brisbane after World War II, an early 'baby-boomer', the daughter of an RAAF navigator who had served with Bomber Command in England during the War.

With a strict Catholic father, Margaret's life was very conventional – education in local Convent schools, then to Teachers College which offered the security of a lifelong career.

But after three years teaching, Margaret decided this was not for her, and put herself through University majoring in Economics, after which she moved to Sydney - a new beginning.

Sydney lead to interesting career opportunities, an 11-year marriage, two wonderful children, divorce and an enjoyable life as a single girl, with good friends.

Early retirement in 2005 was another beginning: campervan adventures, travel, seeing both my children married, and visiting them when they moved overseas. Life goes on.
