Edna Irene was born in 1907 in the town of Ballarat East. While the local Ballarat Courier noted, 'Nothing of world significance was reported today' it was in fact the beginning of the beautiful life of an ordinary woman who would touch the lives of all who knew her. Echoing the words of her father, 'There was always something more to do, ' Edna worked hard over the course of her journey, navigating the inevitable bumps and roundabouts of life, selflessly caring for her family and loved ones along the way. A talented seamstress, and devoted daughter, wife, mother and grandmother, Edna watched the world around her change greatly throughout her 90 years. From Ballarat, the golden city of her birth, to the leafy suburb of Kew, where she eventually settled, Edna made lifelong friends, her kindness and generosity of spirit always on show. In this book, her son, Dennis, has created a fitting tribute, sharing the story of Edna's life, from birth to Journey's End. Written for her three great grandchildren, Judd, Mika and Xara, this book is an attempt to share a life, long gone, in different times and a different place.
