Hugh Jolowicz - Bright

How long have you lived in Bright?

41 years. I came to Bright to work at Mount Hotham, and I worked up there in ’83. I was in the ski school there, and then we stayed and I’ve been here ever since. I did lawn mowing, window cleaning, shop front cleaning and all that kind of stuff and then I worked at Mount Buffalo in the ski school up there.

What are your hobbies or interests?

Music. I play the guitar. I earned a living here, I played in all the pubs, clubs, restaurants, Mount Hotham, Falls Creek, everywhere.

What do you like about the area?

I like to be able to go skiing. I like the bush, the trees, and probably most of all, I like the people.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Probably Mount Buffalo. Go for a spin up there and you get good view of the whole area.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

I think there'll come a time when they have to restrict how many people come into the town. They're trying it out in Venice. They haven't proved that it's worked yet, but the town is just overcrowded and can't cope with the amount of people that are coming in.
