Heather Marjorie CHAMPION born in Maidstone, Kent on 18 Jan 1924. She arrived in 1927 with her parents who settled in the Canberra district. Educated at Canberra Girls' Grammar and at Frensham, Heather worked in Optical Munitions at the Mt Strornlo Observatory during the war years. Heather's father was in the British Army; her mother was the only child of Sir Benjamin Robertson, KCSI, ClE, KCMG, CBE and Dame Charlotte Robertson DBE, CBE. Between 1910 and 1920, Sir Benjamin was a Governor of the Central Provinces in India. Two cousins of Heather's mother, the Morrison brothers, were important to generations of Australian schoolboys as founders of the Scotch College in Melbourne and Geelong Grammar School.
