In this episode of ‘Canberra Voices’ we talk to Lynne Simpson, a local Canberran who has lived here for most of her life. Lynne tells us about what Canberra was like when she first arrived in Australia from England, and how it has changed throughout the years. The episode focuses on the theatre scene and shocked even the hosts with the revelation of the construction of one major Canberra icon.
Bio: Lynne Simpson, 74, is a Canberran through and through. Immigrating from England in 1959 at 10 years old, she’s made Canberra her home for the majority of her life. Simpson went to school in Canberra before the schools had full attendance, and later her children attended those same schools. Her parents, John Garlick and Doreen Harrison, were both involved in the theatre scene, with Garlick as a performer and producer and Harrison as a costume designer. She is married to George Simpson.
