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.
