BiographyHistory

Robin Stewart trained as a primary school teacher. She lived for seven years on King Island in Bass Strait where she was a partner in a sheep property and established a penguin-banding program on the coast. The family have also successfully bred Irish Setter and Great Dane dogs. In 1990 Stewart moved to Victoria where she owns an Angus cattle stud. She combines her passion for animals with her career as a writer and teacher at a TAFE college.
