Also an award-winning journalist, Sue was born in England, and worked in print and television in the UK and New Zealand.

In stark contrast to the Outback, Sue's apartment is in the most densely populated part of Australia – Sydney's Kings Cross –where she lives with her partner, writer Jimmy Thomson.
