The jilted bride who retreated to a cave in heartbreak
July 1, 2009
SHE was the Miss Havisham of Sydney. Like the jilted bride-to-be in the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, Audrey Mountford was rejected by a man she was to marry.
To recover from the heartbreak and humiliation Ms Mountford, an artist, lived out her life until the age of 49 in a cave in remote bushland in the Blue Mountains.
