Neta lived at isolated Woolla most of her life and for extended periods. Except for a quick visit to town for dental treatment, Neta spent thirteen years in one stretch out in the bush.

Shown here in her kitchen which had an open fireplace, over which camp ovens and cauldrons were suspended, Neta's mother, Neta and brother Vern, lived the same life as earlier pioneers.

As was traditional, slab huts had their inside walls covered with newspapers to prevent wind coming through the cracks between the slabs and to supply pictorial diversion. The Illustrated Sydney News was a popular newspaper for lining the walls as it provided, as the name implies, a good collection of graphics to adorn the inside walls.
