Clara Coulthard, born 1929 Lilla Creek Station, S. Aust. Coulthard speaks about her childhood with her parents until the age of 5.

In 1943, Coulthard was moved to Colebrook Home in Eden Hills where she finished her schooling. After undertaking two years of teacher training, she taught at Nepabunna and Oodnadatta Missions.
