Joanne is a 53 year old MUD ( Mum and Dad) to 5 grown up kids and she currently lives in Darwin. Joanne was born in Terrigal, NSW, where for her the "magic age" was 5. Once you turned 5, you were allowed to go to the beach by yourself. Being a small town back then it was very safe. Joanne says that she cannot I remember not being able to swim and the beach is her happy place. It's the place that puts the whole world in perspective for her. She moved to Sydney at 18 but still sought out the beach on weekends. Her kids all love the beach as she took them often - no better free entertainment than the beach!
