4096. Kitty Gill, 27 Oct 2012 - I am the granddaughter of Kitty Gill (Adrianne Joan Sooby) born in 1922. She became Australia's world champion lady buckjump rider in 1945, 1947 and 1951 at Warwick and Sydney. She was also a trapeze artist and circus performer from a very young age, being born into the last horse and wagon circus in Australia, West Bros Circus. She worked for many circuses around Australia and her husband Stan Gill owned and operated Stan Gills Australia Round- Up just after the war. I am writing Kitty's biography and completing the final stages, due for publication in 2013. I would welcome any information, stories, photos of her from 1922 to 1967 (when her career ended with Bullens Circus in Brisbane, when she fell from the trapeze). She was a remarkable lady and recently passed away peacefully in Sept 2012, aged 90. Thank you in advance. Tania Maden. Reply to this message, replies go to this board, not to the message sender.

Reply: 02 Nov 2012 - Hi Tania, My name is Brit Sooby - I was linked to this post by a friend. Unfortunately I don't have any information about your amazing grandmother, but I just thought I'd introduce myself, because it seems that Kitty and I shared the same unusual surname (prior to her marriage) and I have been drawn to a similar way of life. I do have to wonder if we're related in any way? I am 39 years old, a professional stuntwoman, and live in Sydney NSW. My father, Andrew Sooby is from England, however immigrated before I was born, so I grew up in Western Australia.
I have lived a very horsey life, and horses have been the favourite aspect of my stunt career. (I do film and tv, as opposed to live shows) I found myself attracted to the rodeo scene for many years, and at one point had a job working for the horse team on a television series in Qld that required me to hop on new horses on a daily basis to see if they would buck!? (many of them did, and I got quite good at landing the falls!) Please do excuse me if I'm completely on the wrong track here! I have just not heard the surname before in Australia. Regardless, I would love an update on when your book comes out - it sounds a fascinating story. Warmest :-)
