CUTE AT 4 This photo was taken at home where I grew up in Wulguru. My mum did my hair and had a professional photographer come out to our house, but the reason I’m sat on a side angle is because I’d fallen over the previous day and had gravel rash all down the other side of my face!
FARRAH AT 15 I think I was trying to channel Farrah Fawcett here – my hairdryer and Black Silhouette hairspray were my best friends! As embarrassing as this is, the photo was taken at the Cat and Fiddle Arcade’s downstairs ladies’ toilet. My girlfriend and I discovered there was a draft from under the door and, when we’d walk past, it would flick our hair up like we were on a modelling shoot. So here I am striking a pose!

ROCKIN’ AT 20 This was taken in the late ‘80s when big hair was all the rage! The photo was part of the promo shots I was getting done for my folio to set myself up in the music industry. I had been singing in my Dad’s band since I was 14 and went on to sing at the Criterion and the Seaview Hotels with my own band Sealed Section. Not long after this photo, I was offered a job with New Zealand band Mr President and headed down south for the next four years. Covering songs like Turn Back Time from Cher, Pat Benatar’s All Fired Up and Simply the Best by Tina Turner, my hair stayed BIG until 1994 when I did the complete opposite and got it straightened!
LOVING 38 I love this family shot of us that was taken four years ago at Toomulla Beach. I met my husband Tom when I was 21 – he’s also a musician and plays in Abbey Road. My sons Tyrone and Jai were 10 and three and we were at my parents’ place with my two brothers and their families. My hair is long here because it’s the easiest option when you’re trying to look after two young kids!
