a little about me!

My school years were spent in Traralgon, Ashburton and Springvale. Though I have lived in many more places, both in Australia and overseas.

My husband John and I have two (grown up) children, three grandchildren and two dog's - both Tenterfield Terriers - one named Poky and the other is Oscar.

We live in the bayside suburb of Bon Beach, 30 klm from the centre of Melbourne, but we are only a minute from the beach, great for those early morning walks! If you check out the map, we live at the bottom part of Mainland Australia.

I have been employed in many different fields, though by profession I am a draftsperson and have worked in that capacity for the Melbourne, Ringwood and Croydon Councils, I have also been employed as a professional driver for the Ford Motor Company, window dresser for the Coles/Myer Stores, managed two Motels, been manager of several Hostels belonging to the Youth Hostels Association of Australia, been a Medical Secretary at a Surgery in Glenroy, Victoria and am now employed as a Data Manager at the Royal Melbourne Hospital.

I enjoy Victorian History, (Victoria being a southern state of Australia) especially the goldfields area, travelling, camping, walking, bike riding, reading, visiting cemeteries, computers, family history, and Genealogy ...................my main interest!!
