How long have you lived in the area?

I came up here from Melbourne 52 years ago. I had family here so after coming up a few times I decided it would be a good place to live.

What do you like about the area?

Everything. I’ve seen 21 countries in the world, but this is the best place. The people are great, as is the countryside.

Would you like to see any changes or additions?

I love fishing, so a platform on the Pondage to cast a line would be good.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I’m retired after working for 27 years at the SEC and AGL. I’m a qualified electrician/handyman, so I spend time at the Men’s Shed, and fishing is another pastime that I enjoy.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

On any of the beautiful walking tracks, West Kiewa, the view looking back down from there is spectacular. Pebble Beach walk and around the pondage.
