Kay Boon (née Milton) has lived in Two Wells district since 1974.

Kay has a deep interest in family and local history. Her research and writing skills developed whilst at University, from which she obtained an Honours Degree (Politics), and those skills were honed at the front line of working in and managing MPs' offices for more than 20 years.

Kay is finalising her first published family history - 'Hampton's Gold' - about her ancestor Henry Hampton who was a pioneer of Echunga in the Adelaide Hills. Two other family histories are in progress, and she has also written two novels, with a third in progress. She has also indexed the late Bet Williams' 'Two Wells Then and Now' book, and updated the index of 'Life Around the Light'. Both indexes are available at the Mallala Museum, and Two Wells Library.

A life member of Two Wells Melodrama Group, Kay is currently its director and tickets officer, and co-writer of next year's script (2025). Her fellow members of Adelaide Plains Poets Group inspire her to keep writing.

She lives on a small property outside Two Wells, where she has some chooks, a dog, and two horses, as well as a too-large garden.

Kay and her late husband Mark Boon were named Joint Citizens of the Year for the former DC of Mallala in 2009.

Kay was elected to Adelaide Plains Council in 2018, and was re-elected in 2022 for a further two year term.
