Andrea- There are six of us in our family, my parents, me, the twins and my older brother, Ted. Ted is ten years older than me and the twins- they are girls- are two years younger than me. We had a good childhood out in the countryside. My parents were always busy with the farm and so we didn’t get the help with school work and things like that children get today. But my parents were very loving, especially my father. I regret not helping more around the farm because now I realize that it must have been very hard for my parents, especially as my grandparents lived so far away. Camillia- I left home when I was sixteen to live with my grandparents in Sydney. My parents had a farm in the outback and I needed to go to college. It was quite difficult for me to leave my younger brothers and sisters behind as we were quite a tight-knit group, even though the age gap was fairly wide- as you can imagine there was no one else to play with out in the middle of nowhere! When I got fed up I’d give them a ring, and my dad would always put me right- a tower of strength he was, My grandparents were great too- helped me with my homework, took me on trips, things like that.
