Nici Nieuwland – Myrtleford

How long have you lived in the area?

Nineteen years.

What do you do for a living?

I was a registered nurse for 30 years. Then I got to work with Steph, who owns the shop here (Greystones Antiques). Steph closed the shop after COVID and now her Mum, Lorraine and her Dad Phil have taken the shop over. They replenish the shop from Melbourne every couple of weekends, I manage it from here.

What are your hobbies and interests?

I love painting, reading, gardening, doing up furniture and I love cooking. I don't have enough hours in the day.

What do you like about the area?

I've lived all over the world and I think, for me, this is one of the most beautiful areas in Australia. It’s absolutely stunning wherever you go, not just Myrtleford, but all the surrounds, even the trip to Albury. It's still really country and peaceful.

Where would you take visitors to showcase the area?

Mount Buffalo, the mountains generally. We've got a beautiful lake just outside of Myrtleford, I would certainly take them there. And there are so many beautiful walks to do.
