3 things people may not know about you:

- I have different coloured eyes (heterochromia iridum)
Favourite local bar/restaurant and why - Krung Thep Thai Restaurant at Noosaville for consistently great Thai food and their sunken seating but also can’t go past Noosa Amore Gelato at Noosa Marina – it has the best gelato!

Favourite local bar/restaurant and why- My house… Because between a chef-husband and a Thai mother there is usually good food to be had.
if you could invite 3 people to a dinner party? My Dad, my Grandmother and my Grandfather –to see and speak to them just once more.
