In the early 1980s she moved to London. She actually only wanted to visit her sister, but then stayed a full year and worked as a waitress. There she got the telegram in which she was invited to a casting for the flying doctors . She played the role of Kate Wellings for six years, which made her a popular series actress in Australia.
