In 1988 I was one of the winners from South Australia of a school competition ran by the Office of Multicultural Affairs of the Australian Federal Government. School students were encouraged to create a piece of art or writing that communicated a better multicultural Australia in the year 2010. I wrote and designed a children's book called "Maria's Dreamtime". The prize was a day trip to Canberra to have a tour of the, then new, Parliament House of Australia and meet the Prime Minister, Bob Hawke.
