Our Bloke -Jarrod Amery

May 24, 2018 by Maggi Barnard

How long have you lived in Forbes and what do you like about living here? I’ve been living in the area for 13 years and bought a farm on the New Grenfell Road two years ago where we now live. I like the people, climate, agricultural landscape and close proximity to services.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work? I work on my own farm and leased farm land. I love being a farmer. I love the challenges associated with running a profitable business.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? I really enjoy shooting rats in the sheds at night with the kids, cooking a barbeque, motorbike riding in challenging terrain (Great Dividing Range) and going camping with the family.

What are you really good at? I’m not sure if I’d call myself as “really good at”, but you generally become good at what you love and I love my wife and kids and being a role model to them.

If you could have a super power, what would it be? Bring injustice in our world to its knees – poverty, abuse, sex trafficking, slavery, hunger, war, violence – to see people freed from these bondages.

What is your pet hate? The lack of respect of others.

Tell us about your best holiday ever. When I took my family on a camping trip to Broken Hill, Tibooburra and Innamincka to Cameron’s Corner.
