Christine McNeil’s parents were "Ten Pound Poms" who came to Australia from the UK to give their children more opportunity.

"But as a poor kid from the country I felt pretty intimidated when I got to university," she says. "I remember Prof. May from the Italian department with gratitude for his wild ways and disregard for the stuffy system." After graduating, Christine lived overseas, then "came back and wondered what life was all about, had kids, moved to Mullumbimby and got a job at TAFE."

After her youngest child grew up and left home, Christine says she "became a nanny in Italy, then an English teacher in Hong Kong, and a cleaner in the Byron shire. Eventually I scored my dream job as a reporter for a local paper. To keep things in balance I have fun playing with kids as a volunteer home visitor and I sing in an acapella choir."
