“The things that have helped me maintain my positivity are, firstly to do with maintaining my practice of collecting native flora from around the area, if I come home from a walk with a fresh branch of gum leaves that might have dropped from the tree and a couple of twiggs of different varieties of wattle then that is great inspiration.� CATE MADDY
