| Allayne Webster [current staff member]
For Faculty of Professions staff member Allayne Webster, her secret has been her love
of writing. But it's not a secret any more - Mrs Webster has now
released her first novel to critical acclaim.
The novel, Our Little Secret,
is a story about sexual abuse. Rape, small-town gossip, scandal, guilt
and repression are all explored in a novel that is described as "a book
every young girl needs to read". It is aimed at addressing real issues
for mature teenage readers. Our Little Secret has already gained much attention in legal and political
circles, and was launched by independent No Pokies
MLC Nick Xenophon. It received positive reviews in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Advertiser, and Mrs Webster has also been interviewed by Amanda Blair on radio FIVEaa.
Our Little Secret is published by Omnibus, Scholastic, and is available at all good bookstores at a recommended retail price of $17.99.

| Alastair Wood [B Ec 1972]
Alastair Wood was born in Adelaide, South Australia. After leaving
school he spent a year in Canada where he tramped the Rockies of
British Columbia fishing for the magnificent steelhead trout. On his
return to Australia he attended The University of Adelaide and graduated in Economics.
In 1970 he purchased a marine scale fishing licence and
fished for mulloway in the surf along Younghusband Peninsula. In 1976
he was featured in an episode of the ABC’s ‘Big Country’ and in the
1990s was involved in an aquaculture program that pioneered the
breeding of mulloway in captivity.
In his book titled Of Billabongs and Broken Dreams, Alastair presents a series of short stories that
contrast the abundance, beauty and drama of the old river with the
present. It foretells a grim picture that might yet be tempered. The book retails for $29.00 and is available to purchase from the following outlets; Angus & Robertson, Norwood; Lindsay Allen Chemist, Burnside Village; Chemmart Extra, Goolwa; ChemPlus, Victor Central; Causeway Kiosk, Victor Harbor or from Alastair Wood.
