Michael Ahearn - Mt Beauty

How long have you lived here?

I arrived 12 years ago after coming from Canberra; in that time I went back to Canberra for a year.

What do you like about living in the area?

My family is here and being a single parent I have their support. It’s a family-friendly environment. I like the ability to keep fit hiking, cycling in such beautiful surroundings; the area is a wonderful scenic location.

Would you like to see any changes?

Being on several committees that stage events, I would like to see more community interest in these events, plus I would like to see longer trading hours for all cafes and shops.

What do you do, your hobbies and interests?

I am the Alpine FM station manager, as mentioned I am a member of the following committees: The David Vigo Youth Music Scholarship, Alpine FM, The Mount Beauty Writers Festival. My passion is music, composing, playing and recording music.

I like to spend as much time as possible with my son Lucien. I love watching horror movies.

I would take them on a BBQ near the pondage to take in the amazing surroundings and listen to the quietness.
