Tanya Heaslip
Tanya Heaslip was raised on a cattle station in Central Australia during the 1960s and ’70s and learnt about the outside world through “School of the Air” and storybooks. She spent many hours dreaming of the overseas lands depicted in those stories. Her life changed at age twelve when she was sent 1600 kilometres away from her outback home to boarding school. Tanya went on to become a lawyer but never stopped dreaming. In between practising law, she travelled to many of those lands.
She has since written about her love affair with Prague in Alice to Prague (AU 2019), about growing up in the outback in An Alice Girl (AU 2020), and the coming-of-age years at boarding school, Beyond Alice (AU 2021).
Tanya lives back in Alice Springs with her husband and still practices law. She is the President of the NT Writers Centre.
