As Pennie explains: 'I was kicked out of home at seventeen and, even though I was a popular girl and had plenty of friends, I needed to make my own way in life. With nothing more than a backpack to hold my few belongings, I started hitchhiking. I tried numerous jobs as I moved from place to place. I was bar tending in Broken Hill when I decided, on a whim, to accept an offer from sixty-eight-year-old Percy Chambers. I travelled with him on his final run driving a delivery truck for Olivers Overland. A mishap along the way saw me making the choice to set out for the town of Orange. Finding and losing Steve Rogers set the scene for the rest of my life.'
