Name: Frances Castles

Biography:

"I was actually born in a small town called Walgett in New South Wales. My family originated from here but I didn’t know that until I was here. I’ve been tracing my family and the furthest relative is a great grandmother, Lizzie James Thargomindah from Queensland. She taught my grandmother how to weave and my grandmother passed it to me."
