Connie Frazer

[1] After marrying she lived in a cottage on the east coast of Scotland for a decade, before migrating to Whyalla, South Australia, in 1957 with her husband Bill.

[1] Shortly after her arrival in Australia in the 1950s, secret British nuclear tests were being conducted at Maralinga on a site measuring about 3,300 square kilometres (1,300 sq mi) in area.

Out of concern about the atomic bomb tests being conducted in her home state, Frazer began to express her response in verse.

[7] Frazer was strongly affiliated with the Adelaide-based Friendly Street Poets, a poetry reading group and publisher based in Adelaide, South Australia.

[citation needed] Frazer was a founding sponsor of and contributor to the Green Left Weekly alternative newspaper[5] and she was an active member of the Democratic Socialist Party.
