Horse riding, competition. Boating, reading, farming.

I am fortunate to have a small farm in the foothills of Mt Kosciuszko at Khancoban, I spent  approx 20  child rearing years in South East Qld and have two grown sons who both reside in Brisbane.  I retired from my position with the Man From Snowy River Festival nearly 2 years ago and now run my little farm, have spent a lot of time catching up on projects, renovating, riding my horses, competing in Team Penning events.  My travel adventures usually revolve around boating of some sort. eg kayaking, sailing.

I have now caught up on most of my projects and feel keen and ready to find a new passion.  Being involved in supporting a worthwhile cause has strong appeal to me and I feel my skills and strengths can be put to good use.
