In their own words

Evette Pepper was born in the 1950s and has watched Australia change over seven decades. She remembers a nation that was rich in resources, economically strong and well managed. It had growing industry, more chances to study and work for anyone willing to do it, and it got through global downturns because it was run with common sense.
