Louise Pozvek came to the Eyre Peninsula to meet her father. From that moment on, this has been her home. Coming from a tough upbringing, Louise shares her journey from then until now. Her determination to live her life is inspiring. Her willingness to
talk about her life so far is admirable. Louise will move mountains and we hope it inspires many of you to do the same.
