----------

Hempel is of Russian and [Swiss German](/wiki/Swiss_German "Swiss German") ancestry and has speculated that she was born on a boat *en route* from [Papua New Guinea](/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea "Papua New Guinea") to New Zealand. Her family emigrated to New Zealand where she was born. They later moved to [Cronulla](/wiki/Cronulla%2C_New_South_Wales "Cronulla, New South Wales"), south of [Sydney](/wiki/Sydney "Sydney") in Australia, where her father owned a [garage](/wiki/Automobile_repair_shop "Automobile repair shop"). As a teenager in the mid\-1950s, Hempel attended Sutherland High School. In 1962, she moved to England carrying only £10\.


How does owning a garage in Cronulla contribute to a person's life trajectory?
