I have generations of Tasmania in my past. My paternal family have troubled histories coming from the European islands to these southern lands. I uncover more of these stories everyday, experiencing them through my genetic inheritance. Nan is central to my father’s memories of his Glenorchy childhood, her fierce survival in life a sad and empowering truth.
