I was temporarily living in my home town of Wangaratta while caring for my grandmother, who had dementia. I got weekends off and on one of those occasions I met a girl called Marie. During that lovely early period of a new relationship where you’re still getting to know each other, I took her camping at Mount Buffalo in Victoria. On the way home we stopped in Myrtleford, a small town at the foot of the mountain, to get petrol. I fuelled up and Marie stayed in the car while I went inside to pay.

I knew straight away that something was wrong. I had arranged to go to an opera with a friend. She’s normally a very chatty person, but when I got to our seats, she wasn’t saying anything. I asked her a few questions but she was quite monosyllabic in response. During the intermission, we went out to the balcony. Again, I was trying to talk to her but she just wasn’t looking at me. I asked if she was OK – had I offended her in any way? That’s when she let go on a tirade.

I could see the car and knew I was going to hit it. People ask: did your life flash before your eyes? It didn’t. The only thing I remember thinking was: “oh well”. In an instant all those things I’d been worrying about until that point didn’t matter, because I was about to die. Oh well!There was nothing I could do. I was on my motorbike on a dark and rainy night in rush hour traffic when a car pulled across into my lane without looking.

I had just put something in the oven when the phone rang. It was my husband, who hesitated for a moment before he said: “I’ve just been stung by a stingray. Can you come down to the beach?”He’d taken the car to drive down for a swim, so I was going to have to walk. It was a hot January day and would have taken me about 15 minutes on foot, so when I passed a house a few doors down with two cars parked outside, I knocked on the front door.

I remember the exact date it happened – 28 October 1994. My husband and I were living in Perth with our newborn baby, James, when my husband had to go back to the UK for work. The plan was for the baby and me to follow him six weeks later. I’d decided to make the journey as leisurely as possible, so I booked a stopover in Hong Kong. I was very proud of myself setting out because I’d made a homemade baby sling to carry James on my chest during the flight.
