Ingram speaks about her early experiences as a teacher before answering a call for teachers by the Methodist Overseas Mission. Her first post was at Otford, N.S.W. where she cared for and taught children evacuated from Croker Island, N.T. during World War II (see also Bob Randall TRC 5000/111 and Margaret Somerville TRC 5000/266). She describes living conditions at Otford. In 1946, she returned with the children to Croker Island. Ingram discusses the trip to Croker Island, and living conditions on Croker Island. In 1951, she married Bob Ingram, the Mission carpenter. The Ingrams left Croker Island in 1954 to work on other missions in northern Australia, before settling in Tasmania.
