And she explains that after having travelled much of the US and Europe and she decided to settle down in Port Douglas.

She says that when she first saw the local Clink Theatre she fell in love and was re-inspired to continue passing on her vast musical knowledge to others in the community and she shares a taste of her talent in the above video.
