An Australian Memoir
Walk on the Wild Side

What happens when a cheeky, curious little girl grows up determined to experience everything life has to offer?

Sex, Drugs and Sideshow Alley is Ally’s wildly unconventional journey through childhood, family, love, loss, passion, motherhood, business, sex, drugs, creativity and the extraordinary people she meets along the way.

Born in Australia to Welsh parents and raised in New Zealand, Ally left NZ to see the world and got as far as Adelaide! . From childhood adventures and teenage escapades to leaving home to see the world but gets as far as Adelaide! Her life unfolds as a colourful tapestry of outrageous adventures, unexpected encounters, heartbreak, laughter and moments of sheer disbelief.

Along the way, she discovers an entrepreneurial spirit and a fascination with the unconventional. From Catering to being Licensee of a rough and rocking pubHer creative work leads her into the adult-entertainment world, where she builds businesses, exhibits at Sexpo, creates provocative personalised sculptures, crosses paths with musicians and performers, explores alternative lifestyles and launches her own adult online venture.

But beneath the outrageous stories is something far more personal: a woman trying to understand herself, fit in, find connection, survive the difficult moments and remain unapologetically herself. A woman carried along by circumstance, making regrettable decisions and paying for them with her liberty.

Told with wicked humour, raw candour and absolutely no shortage of “you did WHAT?” moments, this is not a story about being perfect. Far from it! It is a story about being curious, resilient, adventurous and gloriously human. Picking herself up, dusting herself off and getting on with it.

So pour yourself a cuppa—or something stronger—and come along for the ride.

The memories are hers. The stories are true as far as she remembers. What you make of them is up to you.
