In 1963 I was born in a hospital in Latouka, Fiji. When I was nearly 5 years old my parents put some shoes on me and we took a boat to South Africa. For the next six years we move at least once a year before settling in Tumut in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. At this point I speak some Fijian, Afrikanas a little Dutch & German and heavily accented English.
