                     Robyn Baker continues 
                      to explore Auntie, the very special Lillian May Gunthorpe. 
                       
                    Auntie is the major 
                      influence in Robyn's life. Robyn says she will paint her 
                      forever. Early in 2009, Robyn drove west starting in Charters 
                      Towers where this story begins. Her reason for this journey 
                      was to discover more about her obsession and to try and 
                      discover what drove her Aunt to take up with the mongrel. 
                      A bit of English rubbish sent out to England's dumping ground 
                      for undesirable aristocrats. 
                     She visited outback 
                      towns where Auntie lived and worked as Matron Gunthorpe 
                      for thirty years. The experience was taxing and rewarding. 
                      Many hospitals and cemeteries were visited. However the 
                      exact spot where Auntie met her husband, the mongrel Sir 
                      Tom Stuart-Gregory was not located. But the town where she 
                      met the mongrel was experienced with lunch of delicious 
                      pasties and rich peach-blossoms for dessert.  
                    The hospital that 
                      she governed with an iron-will was observed reverently.
