Our Bloke – Rob Priest

February 4, 2016 By Maggi Barnard

Rob Priest

How long have you lived in or around Forbes? Well later this year it will be seventy years in the Lachlan Valley but only thirty years in good old Forbes.

What do you enjoy about living in Forbes? I have been to places all over the country and a little over seas. Yes we have the best country in the world and Forbes is one of the best. The people are friendly and there is plenty to do. The climate is great. Can you think of any other town with a beautiful walking/bike track ten kilometres around a lake in the centre of town?

What do you/did you do for work? I worked in a little furniture business for forty one years. Our customers were so nice it was a pleasure to come to work.

What do you do in your spare time/as a hobby? Spare time is a luxury but after the gardening and working at Vinnies I do find a game of bowls lots of fun. I invite anyone interested to try out for bowls any Wednesday at 1pm

What would be your dream holiday? Just a little trip with Sandra in the caravan. It is a big country and there is so much still to see.
