Life in Australia
Rau arrived in Australia from Germany in 1967, aged eighteen months. Her family lived in Australia until 1980, when they returned to Germany. They lived there for two years, then moved to Asia and once again to Australia in 1983, where they remain. Although Rau is still a German citizen, and spoke some German at home, at school and elsewhere, she spoke English.
Rau attended an art school and worked in hospitality before taking a job as a flight attendant with Qantas. In April 1998, Rau joined Kenja Communication, a cult, but was apparently expelled from the organisation following a Kenja event in Melbourne.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or australia:
“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
“I like Australia less and less. The hateful newness, the democratic conceit, every man a little pope of perfection.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
