History
As a passionate environmentalist I was concerned about the continuing salination of Australia’s waterways and the recent revelation that silt is closing the mouth of the mighty Murray River. Overuse and mismanagement of water has caused the water-table to rise, bringing increased salt levels to surrounding farming areas. At the time not one of the 3 State Premiers was doing anything to help the Murray Darling River system. Donated to Quilts 2000 to raise money for the Paralympic Games Sydney 2000
Exhibitions across Australia from March 1999 to promote Quilts 2000, Quilts 2000 exhibition at Paralympic Games, Homebush Bay, Sydney.
