Eunice Bougoure was born in the Central Hotel on 17 October 1923 to John and Lola Leahy. She had four siblings. The family moved between Springdale, Stanthorpe and Gunyan at Texas before settling at Springdale in 1935. A skilled horsewoman, Leahy also enjoyed writing poetry and drawing, always about her great loves, horses, dogs, and the land. She led a hard life in her time and found comfort in her ability to compose and create from poetry and drawings to crochet and knitting.
