Interests

Gardening, reading, walking and spending time with the family.

Cathy and her husband enjoy walking most weekends, preferably with the dog. When she has the time, she likes to get out in the garden or curl up with up good mystery book.

Favourite Holiday Destination:

Over summer, you’ll find Cathy and her family at the beach, either Rye or Torquay. Cathy also likes to spend time visiting family interstate. And if they only have a few days, they love exploring the Victorian forests and the Daylesford area.
