LOUISE ROTONDO

I spent the first twenty-two years of my life in Far North Queensland. I grew up in a small town just south of Cairns and studied law at James Cook University in Townsville. The people in that part of Australia are lovely, the weather is not... It's hot and it's wet (aside from Townsville which is colloquially called from Brownsville due to lack of rain)... Not long after my 22nd birthday I moved to the Hunter Valley where I studied at the University of Newcastle and obtained an honours degree in Modern Languages.
