Dear Sheila! In the 1980s I worked with her on a mini-series adaptation of a Mary Grant Bruce book called Golden Fiddles. I was the script editor, she the writer. It is a lovely piece of work illuminated by Sheila's humanity and humour, and she won a richly-deserved AWGIE for it. In the '90s we developed a couple of feature film ideas together that sadly didn't go anywhere, but I enjoyed the collaboration thoroughly and always learned from her whenever we met. I well remember meeting in the pokey little Balmain flat - her Sydney bolthole - and our lunches at the local pub. Sheila was a natural story-teller with a rich personal history to draw on and a naturally sunny disposition that allowed her to turn tragedy into comedy. Scatty, warm, funny, talented and shrewd, that was my Sheila Sibley. I miss her. Peter Gawler
