Have you been enjoying the cooler weather of late?

Rosemary Spackman: I am very glad to see the cooler weather. I don’t mind temperatures if they sit around the 30 – 35 degree mark but don’t like it much hotter than that.

Karyn Glennan: I am loving the cooler weather. I would love summer if it was this temperature all the time with no humidity. The humid weather of late has not been enjoyable at all.

Al Carroll

How long have you lived in or around Forbes?
I actually live on the road, and have done so for about five and a half years. Before that I lived in Nambucca Heads on the North Coast.

What do you do for work?
I’ve been in Forbes for the last five weeks setting up the Solo’s rally. I am the site coordinator. I’m a volunteer, and I retired before I became a member of the CMCA Solo’s Network.

What do you do in your spare time?
I just love being on the road. That’s all I do nowadays. But I used to be a keen fisherman and I used to enjoy renovating the houses I owned.

What would be your dream holiday?
I’ve just about been to every single town in Australia, so I’m not too sure to be honest. Later this year I’ll probably end up somewhere north, in Queensland. That would be good.
