Life in Australia - Vena McGrath - 1945 to 2010

Here you can perhaps learn a bit about an ordinary life in Australia, past and present, in Sydney in particular, through the eyes of someone who has lived here all of her life.

I decided to do this web site for no particular reason actually. I stumbled upon it one night when I was bored, looking for something to do to keep me occupied. I have a cousin who has a web site but she has a reason to have one, she is a line dance choreographer and teacher. My son has one for his business, again a reason for having one.

Then I decided to give it a try. It's another step for me in my quest for knowledge about the internet and what it actually has to offer and how to use the various options available. Whilst I use a computer for my job, it's in the main utilising the wordprocessing package, other programs to do with spreadsheets, organisational charts, data bases etc. Very little of my time involves actual internet access, although I have that privilege with my position and use it when I need to source information for my business group.

So this is it. Very basic so far, but maybe in time I can pull it all together into something vaguely interesting. Mind you I started the site in 2001 with an enthusiastic burst and then I moved on to other things and forgot about it, returning now and again when I thought about updating as the mood inspired me at the time.
