Pioneers and Palms: Three Generations of South Australian EmbroiderersGeneration 2 - Daphne Machin 1907-1999
After the war, Daphne completed her secondary education, matriculated and then gained an Arts Degree at the University of Adelaide while working part-time as a secretary. She then did her teaching qualification and began teaching at Birdwood High School in 1956. She taught at Unley High School from 1957-1962, and at Christian Brothers College from 1963-1964. Daphne married Thomas Machin in 1962. Daphne was also an author; in 1978 she published Pioneers in South Australia : ancestors and descendants of Albert and Georgiana Palm. Without this book, much of this virtual exhibition would not have been possible.
