Margaret Muirhead’s memoir lets you share her journey through different times and places, from early twentieth century Adelaide to pre-independence Papua New Guinea; from Canberra in the time of Whitlam to Darwin in the time of Tracy; from motherhood to management; from dirty nappies to dinner with the Queen.
