How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here?
I moved here 12 years ago and like the friendliness of the people and how our old buildings are being preserved and our picturesque lake.
Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work?
I am re- tired and find being involved in the Lions Club and CWA very rewarding. I am a volunteer at the Railway Information Centre and find that helping our visitors is also very rewarding.
What do you do to unwind after work and during the weekend?
Gardening and find weekend outings with the caravan club are very enjoyable.
What are you really good at?
Filling in time at the sewing machine or with the crochet hook and knitting needles.
If you could have a super power, what would it be?
Being a cancer survivor, I would love to have the power to find the ultimate cure for all people suffering this affliction.
What is your pet hate?
People who do ‘circle work’ on the lawns at Lions Park and think it is their right to damage com- munity facilities in this way!
Tell us about your best holiday ever?
In November 2000 we left on a 12-month trip around Australia in our second hand caravan. We travelled approximately 45,000km. During this time we explored lots of nooks and crannies but left a lot unseen for the ‘next time’. We met wonderful people doing the same thing and made some lasting friendships. What a wonderful country we have and don’t feel the need to travel overseas again as we have everything we need and more right here in Australia!
