Her aunt and mother resisted this ambition (it was considered too risqué) but, in her twenties, after a spell as a secretary with the Australian Gas Light Company, Lyndon joined a travelling theatre group, taking a stage name by which she would be known for the rest of her life. Reading Shakespeare and taking part in school theatricals led to a passion for theatregoing and a longing to act.
In 1907, Lyndon went to live with an aunt in Sydney, where she attended high school. Her father died when she was seven years old, and the bereaved family moved to Bowral, in New South Wales. Pamela Lyndon Travers was born Helen Lyndon Goff in Maryborough, Queensland, Australia on August 9, 1899, in a residence over the Australian Joint Stock Bank of which her father was branch manager.
