Chris Stanimirovich - Myrtleford

How long have you lived in Myrtleford?

I’ve been here for about six-seven years.

What do you like about the area?

The trees are probably my favourite thing. All the trees, nature, no traffic lights, quiet. It's great here compared to the city.

What do you do for a living?

I work at Burgerville. I have a big background in farming, so I did that for a lot of years when I first moved here. I restore motorbikes in my spare time.

What are your hobbies or interests?

The motorcycles are a big thing; I’m always fixing and riding them. Or I’m out fishing, camping because you can't not while you're in this area.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Probably to Lake Buff, or up the mountains.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

Honestly, how crowded it's starting to get. Otherwise, apart from tourist time, it's perfect here. I've lived in a lot of places in Australia – up top, down the bottom – and here's probably one of the nicest.

Do you have any ambitions for the future?

I want to start a motorcycle business.
