I thought my first memory was watching the dust motes move in the light filtered through orange cheesecloth curtains as my mother sang the new baby to sleep. She wore a greenish hippie skirt and was singing Mull of Kintyre and her hair was wavy... which means it was not long after Isabel's birth... pregnancy straightened my mother's usually very

My first memory that I know for sure is an actual memory is of watching Mr Do-Bee on telly. I have what might be earlier memories but I'm not entirely sure. Things get a bit foggy 'coz we moved to Tamworth when I was about 3 or 4 and I'm not sure where these images come chronologically. I do remember a looot of driving and that was definitely before the move; my parents just drove round New South Wales until they found somewhere they liked.

My earliest memory is of watching Chitty chitty bang bang on TV in the attic. I worked out once that I was about 18 months old at the time.

That's really special. It'd be a strange whimsical nostalgia to walk through a childhood home. I still remember a lot of the layout for our home in Mildura, I don't remember much before that, we moved there when I was 5 ish. Of Kadina I have a couple of hazy memories. A friend's birthday party in a kinda kooky house, it had a strange and unstable ledge on the second story as part of a balcony, I remember it was scary to walk across, and that they had an old bath in the junk accumulated in their backyard. I think that was Rachel's house.

My other clear memory is of going to preschool in Kadina, I remember this ghastly orange carpet, and a doorway, a table just inside the doorway, and Rachel and I playing dress-ups. I think we'd found some lipstick and we thought we were absolutely beautiful.

Not so many really early memories, but I have a lot of memories of my childhood.
