She has interviewed captains of industry and the media, pulled back the veil on corrupt developments in New South Wales, and taken a look at the seedier side of the art‐auction market. She has worked in Australia and overseas for a number of media organisations including Fairfax Media, Reuters and the BBC. Wendy has long been fascinated by Australian history and most recently channelled that passion into the search for her Cornish ancestry. 'Leane Times' is her first book.
