When I discovered the significant historical link that existed between my hometown (Ballarat) and my religion (The Baha’i Faith), I knew it would make for an interesting feature piece.
The story was about Effie Baker – the first Australian Baha’i woman – who was raised right here in Ballarat. I wanted to find out all about her and her background, and the result was the following story which featured in Ballarat Extra at the end of last month.
You can read Effie’s story here.
