Ivy Barber

in conversation with Hilary Makepeace
Mum would heat a brick, put it in a sugar bag and we would take it in the sulky to keep us warm on our way to school.

During our first meeting Ivy asked, ‘I haven’t done anything significant in my life. Why would you want to write a story about me?’ After listening to Ivy’s story, I strongly dispute her assertion. Ivy is a remarkable woman who has helped shape her family, her communities of Walla Walla and Wentworth, and those around her. Ivy Barber was born Ivy Maureen Wiesner on 17 December 1928, the third child of Harold Wiesner and Anna Elise Wiesner née Seidel.
