[Lee speaks about her mother Louisa Lee, the

about her father Juan Cubillo, the son of a Filipino pearl
diver and of Magdalena McKeddie, a Larrakia woman.
Her mother was one of twins removed at the age of 10
and sent to Bathurst Island, N.T. Lee talks about her
early memories of life in Darwin, and her Catholic
education. During World War II, Lee was evacuated
with her mother and her eight siblings to Balaklava, S.
Aust. However, her father, who remained in Darwin,
was killed during the 1942 bombing. When the family
returned to Darwin after World War II, they had to live
in an abandoned army hut as many houses had been
destroyed. Lee moved to Adelaide at age 17 to work as
a nursemaid. She later she returned to Darwin where
she married in 1949. In later life, Lee completed a
degree in Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Management
and was awarded the NAIDOC Scholar of the Year
