About the Author

Clare Bagshaw was born and raised in Dubbo in NSW’s central west. This provided a solid grounding and fuelled her love of rural life. Following schooling and university studies in Sydney, Clare moved to Adelaide to undertake a graduate program with a leading pastoral house. This necessitated regular travel across Australia and Clare gained a passion for travel. Clare then took a position within the wool industry which exposed her to the wonders of China. Enthralled, Clare organised a secondment there and her subsequent experiences are recorded in ‘A China Moment.’ Clare now lives in Adelaide but continues to travel regularly to China.
