Summary

St Lucia, the Brisbane suburb famed for its university campus, emerged despite world wars, Spanish Influenza and Depression. In the 1950s, kangaroos hopped across open paddocks; snakes slithered through scrub and sugar cane fields. The sanitary cart, ice man, milkman and whistle-tooting postman traversed rutted dirt roads to service the community. And, each morning, sun-warmed milk churned the stomachs of the students at Ironside State School. Then, as bold new scaffolding reached for the sky, people watched, amazed, and asked: "Who could build this huge mansion - with an elevator in it - when rationing still exists?" In this St Lucia setting, a wide-eyed child of the outback overcame her terror of big schools, big cities, and big universities as a man of vision, faith and love inspired her to rise above life's challenges. A man of vision, faith and love inspired her to rise about such challenges.
