On your special day. We wish you all the best things in life. Have a fantastic birthday!”
Both Julie and Wayne are local from Perth. They both met each other in 1977 and got married in 1982. They are blessed with 2 children and 9 grandchildren.
“Charlie” is their cute furry friend who is a 13 year old Miniature Schnauzer. Wayne has worked in the Automotive Industry for a total of 46 years, including his own Auto Masters Franchise where Julie worked alongside him as the Office Manager. Julie previously worked with I.H.B.F and ladies with disabilities.
Travel is a massive interest for both Julie and Wayne, they have been to many places all over the world including Europe, Canada and Greece. They have plans to travel again in their retirement, Bali and Africa!
Other interests for Julie include gardening, craft, dancing and gym. They both enjoy caravanning, keeping busy with the grandkids and catching up for regular luncheons with their friends. Whilst they have a few people they already know in the Village, they have enjoyed meeting new people attending the resident functions and enjoy the regular Friday night Sundowners.
Wayne and Julie chose this Village not just because they needed to downsize, but for the location and love that it’s family orientated.
For over 20 years, Sharon has worked as the bar manager at The Elizabethan and is still currently working there.
Her beautiful fur babies, 15 year old “Harry” and 18 month old “Gizmo” both Pomeranians, are a huge part of Sharon’s life. She is looking forward to spending more time training Gizmo.
Sharon enjoys Pilates and spending time with her friends and family. Her good friends Julie & Wayne from Lot 134 and Robin & Stephen at Lot 174 whom she has known for many years, made it an easy choice moving to this Village. She likes that the Village is family orientated and quotes “I am very happy to be here”.
You’ll most likely see Sharon joining in on the Quiz & Bingo nights and social activities very soon!
Congratulations to everyone who created a fantastic Christmas lights display this year. The Village looked amazing!!

Thank you to all who got into the Xmas spirit and put up lights and decorations both in the lodge and at your homes, they really look fantastic. Also, congrats to the committee for organising a successful resident Xmas party with a record number of attendees. Not a small feat organising such a big event and all credit to the committee for their efforts. Thankfully with lodge extensions and renos we have been able to almost double our capacity which enabled more residents to attend.
