BiographyHistory

Initially raised in Port Augusta, E.M. Baily lived a peripatetic life both before and after marrying a Congregational minister, including stints in Adelaide, Melbourne, Everton, Mildura, Lyrup, Leeton, Moree, Newcastle, Kirru Kurri, and North Queensland. When her husband enlisted as an artilleryman in 1940, she broke up housekeeping and lived in a succession of bed-sits in Kings Cross. A son was killed at Lababia Ridge, New Guinea, in 1943.
