When I asked community champion Patricia Moran (Pat) to come on the Back Story, I expected to go back in time to cover her life journey.

But I didn't expect to go back quite as far as the 1800s – but we did, and it's fascinating. Pat's great grandparents came out to Australia from England to Victoria on the infamous 'fever' or 'plague' ship of 1852.

It's probably remarkable this octogenarian was even born. We also talk about her life with late husband Bernie and the birth of her six children, including stillborn Keith.

Terri Cowley spoke with her as part of her Shepplife One FM program.
