On Moving From One Island to Another.
From her childhood in southern England to the point at which she and her husband emigrate to Tasmania, Scott was already a remarkable woman. While outwardly conventional, she had already defied her rather stolid and moralistic background. Her hilarious encounters at a false eyelash manufacturer in one of England's new towns show her flair and ability to provoke the unexpected.
Tasmania came as a shock initially, but she has become a convert, to the point of renovating a derelict house on the Tasman peninsula, an enterprise related with great charm and wit. She has endured bushfires, the Port Arthur massacre in close proximity and still emerged as someone Tasmanian Premier Bacon described as the person best fitted to write the preamble to the Australian Constitution. He is probably right!
