Hobbies and Interests
I have a genuine interest in helping people and animals in my community with a particular focus on native avian wildlife. In my spare time I enjoy my volunteer WILVO work, rehabilitating birds, painting, gardening and going to the beach. My husband and I have lived on the Sunshine Coast in our home here for the last 28 years and enjoy our beautiful natural environment. We have two lovely children aged 18 and 21, as a family we spend our weekends at the beach, surfing and swimming.
