I have performed in a lot of plays and musicals but have only ever played music on stage once at Music by the Lake last year. I love to play guitar and sing and have even written my own original songs.

What an absolute honour it was for Toby and I to be invited to the launch of Fremantle to Freedom: James Wilson – The Unbroken Fenian. A powerful tale of the remarkable Catalpa Escape and the incredible journey that followed.

We were completely captivated by the storytelling of authors Peter Murphy and Fred Rea, whose passion for the story truly came to life. Guests joined in with heartfelt songs, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie that filled the room. There were moments of emotion, learning, and new insights into some of Western Australia's fascinating history.

This event is one we will forever cherish, and it has already sparked so much creativity and learning in our family. It was a reminder of how stories can inspire, connect, and remind us of the strength of the human spirit.

Toby hasn't let me have a read of the book yet, I may need to get a second copy 😄
