"HAPPY TO BE HERE...EASY TO WORK WITH"
At eighty years young, I never imagined I’d still be learning and teaching life’s most enduring lessons. My career began over 60 years ago on an 18-month tour with an Australian music legend, and this memoir chronicles a journey that took me from a small rural town to the global stage.
From a wide-eyed child growing up in Far North Queensland to decades spent moulding future performers as Head of Dance and Head of Musical Theatre at The McDonald College, this book is my record of quiet triumphs, heartfelt anecdotes, and hard-won wisdom. It is my way of passing down the lessons I learned through every challenge, big or small.
If you’ve ever dared to chase a dream, found yourself at the crossroads of fear and possibility, or simply believe that it’s never too late, this book will inspire you to take the next step, onstage or off.

As one of Ms Dunbar’s former students, reading this book has brought me more joy than I can put into words. Seeing the life stories I once heard in snippets come completely to life on the page has been incredibly special. Even more meaningful is recognising the powerful life lessons she taught me, now beautifully written and shared with the world. This book made me smile from start to finish, and I couldn’t put it down. It is truly a must-read and one that will continue to inspire long after the final page.

Loved every second of this astonishing history of an early Australian showbusiness journey. Everyone will drink it up. Sheer class.
Great Australian theatre story, waiting for the movie!
Lots of untold history of an industry that retires you
