When I first met Tony in Melbourne in 1985, he wasn’t actually someone I considered partner material, I didn’t think he was what I needed. But I was proved very wrong.
We were both in our mid-20s, we both knew what we were doing professionally and were enjoying our careers. We were both probably ready to meet someone and settle down, but it wasn’t that easy. Being from Queensland I didn’t have those connections you have when you’re native to a town; so I joined the local Anglican congregation. Tony was in a similar position.
