Meet Lydia McLean.

I am a history tragic. Whether it’s standing on sites where significant events have taken place, devouring history books or delving into archives online, I can never get enough of it.

When I’m not immersed in history, I’m immersed in my garden trying to keep my precious patch of planet under control. And when I feel the need for the buzz of the big city, Melbourne never fails to deliver – pandemics permitting!

Oh, and I also love cats . . .
