Born at Thursday Island and grew up on Badu Island with her very big family. I grew up leaning the importance of working hard to look after my family which included planning gardens, and tending and maintain the gardens, root veggies to different tropical fruits including watermelon, mangoes and coconut and tending to the shores at home with mum and older sisters as well as fetching firewood, while the brother’s sought seafood. Coming from a big family, Rita now lives with her husband and family on Kubin.
