1971 Lois in Wilpena Pound, Flinders Ranges, before the tent collapsed237 viewsDuring her time in Wodonga, Loisembarked on a cross country expedition Jenny and Kath and Sandra, another friend. When camping at the Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges in remote South Australia, they were taken under the wings of a group of scouts who took it upon themselves to help these young city girls. Their tent failed them in a heavy storm, and they had to endure a night in their small car.

1976 Year 7B Class Mistress at Braemar College, Mt Macedon195 viewsIn the 1975 Christmas holidays, Lois saw an advertisement for a new Christian Community school called Braemar College, about to start in Mt Macedon, replacing the old Clyde College. She was successful in her application and she moved to Mt Macedon in early 1976, where she rented an outhouse in one of the properties on the mount.
Her time there was busy by any standard, with Y12 Commercial and Legal Studies, Y11 Accounting, Economics, Commercial and Legal Studies and Typing, along with Y7 Biblical Studies. Add in roles as Commerce Coordinator, Bookshop Coordinator and Camp Coordinator and you start to wonder how she survived. But survive she did, and thrived.
