"We sailed to Melbourne on the famed Lloyd Triestino, where we all celebrated my tenth birthday,” remembers Mrs. Metcalfe, whose name was then Maria. Upon docking, she would thereafter be known as Mary, in anticipation of her new life in an English-speaking country.
Since that time, Mrs. Metcalfe and her husband Alan have combined their collective efforts to open many successful business ventures during their 49 years of marriage. Today, she is is a celebrated company director and international businesswoman. Mrs. Metcalfe is the CFO / Director of Metcalfe Holdings Pty Ltd.

Mrs. Metcalfe was also the publisher of Townsville Woman Magazine for three years, and one of three women selected to represent Australia for the United Nations' Year of the Woman.
Mrs. Metcalfe and her husband are currently focusing on Safe Worlds TV’s planned public listing and IPO to fund the worldwide expansion of their revolutionary internet platform designed for use where high level of privacy is required. Discovered by Alan Metcalfe in 1999, it is based on artificial intelligence and provides a platform that can be delivered globally on a scale that has never previously been available on the Internet.
