Natalie has always been a media slut. The origins of this can be traced back to a chance meeting with a popular children’s character (see picture). Natalie loved watching both Sooty and Humphrey B Bear, and to this day has a penchant for mysteriously silent types. Her writing career was launched in 1989 when her primary school newsletter published her report about the cockatoos at Featherdale Wildlife Park.
