Rosalina-Ludmila McCarthy (formerly Palamountain) became Nelson's second woman professional photographer (after Rosaline Frank) with her own studio. One photographic career highlight was a commissioned assignment to India where she photographed Prime Minister Mrs Indira Gandhi. After photographing a Child Care Centre in Siberia, a joint career of photography and research writing work began with documentaries, radio play written/produced/broadcast, becoming radio interview host, plus work on scripted audio-visual photography and general photo journalism. Later qualifications including a Post Graduate Diploma in Museum Studies led to researching/documenting commissioned evidential reports for Organisational & Private Clients on a variety of topics including Historical Land Issues & Claims.
