In this episode the conversation moves from Annette’s early years in rural Myrniong, Bacchus Marsh & Warragul to the big smoke of Melbourne. We learn how she leveraged her nana’s legend status at Santa Maria College, Northcote to curry favour with the nuns; how she lost two students on an excursion to the Melbourne Show whilst on teaching rounds; how Ade ‘the Big Bopper’ Rossi helped her overcome her case of Rock n’ Roll Vertigo & how Bob Bird the Bard unsuccessfully tried to woo her with poetry. In the end it was the handy golfer in yellow cords who won her heart. Laurie Bain stole her away in his rusty red Torana, piffing chalk at Digger Bowlen on Bell Street en route to the Croxton Park Hotel.
