Helen Cubbidge - Mount Beauty

How long have you lived here?

I left the UK in 2018 to travel. I was working at the Falls Creek Hotel for five seasons, and five seasons on the Great Ocean Road working in hospitality. I have lived in Mount Beauty for over a year now.

What do you like about living here?

The encouraging community, I never felt this type of community back in England.

Would you like to see any changes or additions?

Yes, it would be good to see the local supermarket stay open later, maybe until 8pm, definitely would like to see more night life here.

What do you do, your hobbies and interests?

I have two jobs, one at Grass Valley Cafe, and one at the Mount Beauty Pool. I run a dance class called Jungle Body at Community Centre on Mondays at 6pm. I am an artist and have joined the Mount Beauty Art group. I like mountain bike riding, playing tennis with the local club, fly fishing, and reading. I am studying to become a personal trainer.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Up to Falls Creek and the high country, to Pebble Beach and the Mermaid pools, over to Bright, to one or more of the many cafes here for coffee, and if they are up to it, mountain biking, and a hike up Mt Bogong.
