Rosamund Burton

Rosamund Burton was born in Ireland and grew up in England, before returning to Ireland with her family when she was 18. She became an actress, performing at Dublin's Gate and Gaiety Theatres, and in the film Educating Rita with Julie Walters and Michael Caine. She then worked for the UK's first left-wing think tank. She moved to Australia in the mid-1990s following her fascination with her mother's stories of growing up in Australia. She writes for a range of newspapers and magazines and lives in Sydney with her husband Steve.
