How long have you lived in the area?

I moved here in 2014.

What do you like about the area?

The people. It's a beautiful area. We lived in Melbourne for 34 years and decided it was time for a change. We looked around all the different areas, but we settled on here, and a lot of that came down to the people we spoke to when we walked around the town here before we moved - how nice they were, how friendly they were. It's a great town.

What do you do for a living?

I volunteer here at the op shop. I run a genealogy course for U3A. I worked at Elders Insurance for seven years, but I gave that away a couple of years ago. So, I do voluntary work and help different groups.

What are your hobbies or interests?

Genealogy is one of my hobbies. I also do line dancing and Tai Chi with U3A. That's a really great organisation they've started here. I was in Probus, but that's unfortunately had to close down. So I'm a treasurer for U3A. I was treasurer for Probus and I do the op shop.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

I've taken friends up who've come up from Melbourne, and we've done the pumpkin seed place, we've done Milawa cheese, we go to Beechworth, to all those sort of things that are around, and Myrtleford is great for that because you're central to all those areas.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

I suppose as you're getting older, you're looking at a lot of the older people who no longer can drive themselves to things. That's difficult for them. I don't know what the answer is for it, but the public transport isn't great.

Do you have any ambitions for the future?

Enjoy my life.
