ANZAC DAY 25.4. 2023. JULIE ANKERS. ANNE TISCHLINGER.

 On this Remberance Day, this is for those who can remember playing marbles.  

We laugh and say we still have our marbles, referring to our memories, which I liken to pieces of smooth rock, even crystals.  They don’t break easily, though our memories can get a bit faded over time.  

They keep better than our legs and if these precious limbs aren’t working well for you, just play with your mind.  This is what my friend Anne now uses, to great effect. 

Here are stories re-discovered  through an online book source.  Amazon.

 JULIE ANKERS (Sydney author) wrote 

            BOLD BRAVE and bloody BRILLIANT. 

            FEISTY FABULOUS and FIFTY plus.

My long time friend currently (still) in Vienna contributed her stories in these anthologies.  Her name is ANNE TISCHLINGER.  I read them a few years ago and recommend them to those who appreciate small Australian women’s histories.


Published in 2020 they resurfaced through an online book source.
