One of the most versatile of Australian artists, Mara is widely revered for her naïve art - having won numerous awards for her work and been the feature artist at many exhibitions.

Everybody gather 'round now
let your body feel the heat.
Don't you worry if you can't dance
let the music move your feet.
It's the rhythm of the island
and like sugarcane, so sweet.
If you want to do the conga
you've got to listen to the beat.

[Gloria Estefan]

I have always been attracted
to the idea and feel of the village
- it must be my Italian background.

[Mara]

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.

[Kelly Clarkson]

Was it the moon peering through the
sky mid-afternoon that caused the
rabbits to pop up out of their burrows?
Or us on our walk in the country?

[Mara]
