I had hoped to write this book in conjunction with Ros, but Alzheimers is a cruel disease, and I have had to attempt this book alone. We have been lucky enough to share half-a-century of joyous married life before the fog descended on her formerly sharp brain and feisty personality. I hope our family, friends and a wider audience will enjoy this account of Ros' adventurous, well-lived life, and at least I will have the satisfaction of placing a copy of it in her hands even though she may not be able to fully comprehend it.
So begins Tim Bowden's memoir of his wife Ros, and their engagement with a changing Australia in the 1960s and 1970s, and her pioneering radio documentaries and books that looked at Aboriginal lives and the changing role of women on the land. Theirs was a life of mutual discovery and documentation that has touched many Australians through their work with the ABC.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Anne Rosalind Geddes was born on 15 December 1940 in Ceylon where her father Eric managed a tea plantation. Before she was two-years-old it seemed that the Japanese might invade Ceylon and she and her mother Margaret left Colombo Harbour on board an Australian troop ship the morning before the Japanese bombed the harbour. They returned to Ceylon in 1943 and the Geddes family moved to a tea plantation in India in 1948. In 1953 the Geddes family was re-united in Hobart, Tasmania, where Ros attended the Fahan School. Later she did her nursing training in Melbourne and Sydney. In 1966 she arrived in Singapore and worked at Gleneagles Hospital there. She and Tim Bowden were married in England in 1968, returning to Sydney the following year. Ros decided to tackle journalism, cutting her teeth on writing stories for the Immigration Department about happy migrants to attract more to Australia. She began a career in radio, first involving herself with ABC Radio Nationals trail-blazing feminist unit The Coming Out Show moving on to The Social History Unit where she involved herself in interviewing trail-blazing Aboriginal activists who were not then being recorded by their peers. She co-authored a book, Being Aboriginal with the ABCs Bill Bunbury, having previously written Aspects of Nutrition based on her radio documentaries on the importance of a healthy diet as well as a third book based on her radio series Women of the Land on pioneering women. She managed to find the time to get a Horticultural Diploma from Sydney Technical College, and begin an Arts degree at Macquarie University. She took over from her husband Tim Bowden as Executive Producer of the Social History Unit in 1994 (he was a self-confessed hopeless administrator).
