Back in 2008 my husband Paul was doing fly in fly out work in the mines, it was hard living apart most of the time. So when Paul was offered a position in Orange our family packed everything up and moved out of Sydney and into Millthorpe on 5 acres, 20mins out of town. And that is where I meet Marea! I had been there for about a month trying to get the house sorted out and hadn’t really been anywhere except to do food shopping! I was outside hanging washing when she approached the fence and said hello.  And since then we have been good friends. Marea was the one I could rely on when I had no family around to help.

Now she is off on her own adventure! Marea and her family have packed up and gone to Moss Vale to run Moss Vale Village Caravan Park. I wish them the best of luck and really hope they enjoy the new chapter of their lives!!!  We are missing  you dearly! And can’t wait to come down to see you next week.  x

Here are a few photos from Marea’s Farewell at the Union Bank in Orange
