We actually had moved to Woodend.

So we were about 45 to an hour out of Melbourne.

And so this was like a trip.

We used to go to the show every year.

And so this was a very exciting year because I had had a bit of a growth spurt and I was actually able to reach the height, the minimum height to go on the roller coaster.

So we'd made the trip down for this specifically.

So it was my whole family.

It was a whole family affair.

So my mum and dad and my two older sisters.

So I'm the youngest of three girls.

I mean, I was nervous for sure, but I was also a pretty stoic kid, so I wouldn't let anyone know that I was actually scared of doing this thing that I had been so excited for.

And so I just remember holding on to my dad's hand and just being like, God, I'm

I'm so excited to do this, like trying to really pump myself up to get on that ride.

Because even getting strapped into the cart, I was like having second thoughts.

I was like, do I really want to do this?

It looks pretty scary.

But I had already committed to it at that point.

And that was generally my mindset was like, you've said you're going to do something, so you have to do it.

There's no backing out.

It wasn't that intense.
