Joy O’Connor - Mount Beauty

How long have you lived in Mount Beauty?

All of my life. I was born in Wodonga, I attended both primary and secondary schools here. I left to study nursing in Melbourne, returning in 1979.

What do you like about living here?

Belonging to the community, the safety, the beauty of the landscape, the fact that’s it’s only an hour away from Albury/Wodonga where all our needs are met.

Would you like to see any additions or changes?

More and better footpaths.

What do you do, your hobbies and interests?

I work as a practice nurse at the Mount Beauty Medical Centre. I am a member of the local CFA (non-operational), I am a leader and treasurer of the Uniting Church, I help dementia carers one on one. I like to read, cycle, and I enjoy walking. My middle daughter is an ambassador for breast and ovarian cancer. I am joining the rest of my family in a four kilometre walk - 'The Mothers Day Classic' in Geelong to help fund raising for breast and ovarian cancer.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Up to Fainter Falls and Rocky Valley, walks to Pebble Beach, the Gorge, and around the Pondage.
