WALLAROO 19
Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors, Libby Andrew.
Libby is a third-time published author, with all her books published through the Ultimate 48 Hour Author. Her latest work, Wallaroo 19, offers a deeply personal reflection on a pivotal ten-year period of her life when she played elite sports for Australia. Set against the backdrop of the early 1990s, the book delves into the development of women's rugby league and rugby union in Australia, offering a unique perspective on a time when these sports were traditionally male-dominated.
While Wallaroo 19 is not an autobiography or an official history, it is filled with humor, candid stories, and raw emotion—capturing Libby’s experiences both on and off the field. Through her personal accounts, readers get a glimpse of the blood, sweat, and tears she poured into playing a sport that was still finding its place for women. This book celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Wallaroos' first-ever test match in Australia, making it a tribute to the resilience and strength of women athletes who helped pave the way for future generations.
3 Key Takeaways:
1. Women rock and can do anything
2. We need to continue to promote women’s sport to balance the inequalities between men’s and women’s sport
3. Persistence - not only in sports but when writing your book (my book 3 took me 5 years to complete!)

Your 3% “Sur-thrival” Plan
Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors, Zoë MacBean.
Zoë is an eclectic dog trainer with over 35 years of experience who believes there are no stubborn dogs—just those that have become reliable in all the wrong ways. With a touch of eccentricity and a perpetually scruffy look, Zoë’s unique upbringing in a college psychology lab might explain her unconventional approach.
When she isn’t training dogs, Zoë can be found cooking, gardening, or having hay picked out of her hair by her very patient husband. She lives on a small farm on Vancouver Island with a quirky little blue dog, a foolish young setter, three lazy, semi-retired pack goats, too many sheep, and a very handsome mule.
Zoe just recently published her first book “Housetraining That Works”.
Key Takeaways:
1. Trust your process - don’t apologize for it or beat yourself up for it
2. No one is going to defend your boundaries for you.
3. Who is your book inviting you to become?

Foster Father & Son or Slave Master & Slave - A Researched Account of Australia’s Shared History
Monday morning live with Natasa Denman featuring one of her amazing authors, Davina Woods.
Davina Woods was born and raised in Brisbane. Although she always knew she was Aboriginal, it wasn’t until the early 2000s that she discovered her Kuku-Djungan ancestry. She attended local schools and achieved a Diploma of Teaching in 1979 from the North Brisbane College of Advanced Education. In 1984, Davina became one of the first five First Nations teachers to join the inaugural Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Unit of the Queensland Education Department (QED).
As a writer, Davina's first article, "Why Aboriginal Studies," was published in QED’s professional journal, QUEST. In 2000, she contributed her first chapter to the book Aboriginal Women by Degrees: Their Stories of the Journey Towards Academic Achievement, edited by Professor Mary Ann Bin-Sallik. This was the first of several book chapters Davina has written and published. In 2006, her poem "Urban Songlines" won the Victorian Indigenous Art Cultural Heritage Award.
Over the years, Davina has completed a Bachelor of Education, a Graduate Certificate in Aboriginal Studies, and a Master of Arts, all while working and raising her children. She left QED in 1990 to become the Federal Aboriginal Education Officer of the Australian Education Union, which required moving to Melbourne. In the late 1990s, she worked at a Melbourne university, completed a Graduate Diploma in Tertiary Education, and earned a PhD.
The prestigious literary journal Meanjin published her essay “Being Educated,” which recounts her early experiences of racism and the moment she realized her duty to educate non-Indigenous people about the First Peoples of Australia. Following her realization and receiving the Most Outstanding Research Student award for her PhD, she knew she had to fulfill her promise to her family to document their mutual grandfather’s story and their legacy of Aboriginality. She has since published a book with the assistance of Ultimate 48 Hour Books, telling the story of her maternal grandfather who, as a child, survived a massacre in 1881. He was then taken in by an Irish couple, for whom he worked until the man died in 1908.
