Mum told us when they were little they used to go around selling boxes of matches that their foster mother made, also they used to go out into the bush and collect and carry back bark, leaves, flowers, plants and roots that Eady Hart used to mak e up her dyes with for which she became very famous for dying rolls of material and a great variety of colours, winning medals in Australia and England too.
