Author bio: Jill Robertson lives with her husband on a peaceful pastoral property in Western Victoria. She is fascinated by local history, so when she moved into one of the converted factories that once made up the MacRobertson chocolate empire in inner-city Fitzroy, she eagerly began to research the company and its founder. Jill has authored a number of publications and enjoys unearthing lesser-known subjects from history.
