G'day, Tessa Trudinger here from Adelaide, South Australia. 
As a small child I'd go down our road and get to know the neighbours. I also liked to make things and give my creations as gifts.
Well, some things don't change, I guess. Except I'm reaching out to the world sharing my life, my travels, my art and my story.
You may also like to check out these Sci-Fi stories I've self-published under my name Lee-Anne Marie Kling on Amazon and available as e-books and print books: The Hitch-hiker (a novella), Mission of the Unwilling (novel), The Lost World of the Wends (novel, recently released in Kindle). For something completely different in the travel-zone, the first of my historical travel books, Trekking With the T-Team: Central Australian Safari 1981 and recently The T-Team with Mr. B: Central Australian Safari 1977.
Enjoy!

[Where I live, a half-hour drive from the city and yet in the foothills of Adelaide, we have koalas in our backyard. And kangaroos hopping down the road...Yeah, they do.]
