Kerrie O'Meara – Wandiligong

How long have you lived in the area?

I've been living here for about 11 years part–time but I moved here permanently in October. I'm originally from Mansfield.

What do you do?

I'm a mobile florist.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I love horses. I was competing but I'm not doing much of that at the moment. Just living on the farm, going for nature walks and playing golf.

What do you like about the area?

I love the scenery. It's very similar to Mansfield. I love the mountains. I couldn't live anywhere without mountains. It's still small enough to be country and still has that lovely country vibe.

Where would you take visitors coming here?

Mostly the walks around the rivers and the Canyon Walk – places like that. Mount Buffalo is absolutely beautiful. There's a certain special energy from Buffalo.

Is there anything you would change about the area?

Not really. I'd like it to stay the same size. People are friendly and it's a lovely place to live.
