Rosemary Ayles

Rosemary Ayles lives on a five-acre property on the Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia with her husband, Don, where Eucalypt Gum Trees grow on the fringe. When her two sons arrive with her three grandsons, they race out to the trees, competing to climb the highest branch. Rosemary spends a great deal of time walking the beaches on both sides of the Peninsula, Normanville to Carrickalinga where the ocean is emerald, sand pink and rainbows orange; Middleton to Victor Harbor where dolphins and whales often frolic in the bay. After those walks, she returns to her desk and writes whatever has inspired her.
