ABC Ballarat with Steve Martin
Monday 4th February - Interview with Steve Martin on the ABC Ballarat morning show.
The invitation to be guest speakers at the Ballarat Soroptimist's International Women's Day dinner also prompted an opportunity to be interviewed on Ballarat ABC radio about Pioneers & Suffragists. Stephen told his favourite story of Mary Job whose husband came to Australia before her with a view of establishing himself then sending for the family. The tale takes an interesting twist when she got wind that he had perhaps taken an Australian wife and started afresh. What followed is in the book..
Being interviewed on radio was a new experience for both of us, but talking about the book came easily.
