Early life
Madeleine Jane Woolley was born in 1996 and was raised in Lunawanna, Bruny Island.[5][6][7] Her parents owned a vineyard.[8] She later described the place, "you are used to waving to everyone and knowing everyone. I have learnt to be more comfortable in bigger situations, because I am just a little small town girl. I have definitely had to get used to the scale of things."[9]
Career
