Her father expected her to work locally, not too far from North Wales, where Anne had grown up, & to then settle down & have children. However, Anne had inherited her father's adventurous spirit & at the first opportunity she set sail for Canada to work in the remote stations in the frozen north of the country. She found a placement easily, among the indigenous Inuit people. With the whole world to explore, Anne later headed for Alice Springs in the Australian outback.
