As sole traders, to establish that sometimes, everything gets a bit too hard.  And it's ok.  It's ok to have your low moments.  In truth, I have been struggling a bit too much of late.  So in order to get something out for you this month, I am being pragmatic and practical.  Life tends to keep going even if you are struggling.  But to those who are feeling a bit low, or are just not themselves, I see you, and I feel ya!

Send us Fan Mail Hello, my dear leaflets,  Annie Richards was the first white woman to reside in Fowler Bay and lived through the harsh conditions of that area.  She collected flowers for Mueller and Tate.  She was instrumental in the collating of some of the amazing plant specimens in the collection housed at the National Australian Herbarium.

(1881), Parmelia conspersa var. polyphylloides Müll.Arg. (1883), Puccinia wurmbeae Cooke & Massee (1888), Helipterum troedelii F.Muell. (1890), as 'Mrs Richards', Helipterum jessenii F.Muell.

Send us Fan Mail To a woman who didn't suffer fools gladly, she was a force to be reckoned with.   I applaud her tenacity and flair for being outspoken in a world when it was hard to speak openly as a woman.  But it was in a time when being an outspoken woman was frowned upon.  And she did shack up with a man 25 years her senior while he was still married to another woman, with whom he had fathered seven children.  However, if she'd been a man doing this at the time, would there still be the dramatics associated with her? Listen, it's a good one! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=208886333861966 Stead, Thistle Yolette (1902-1990).
