Anna Wyllie

How long have you lived in Parkes? I’ve lived here for ten years. My husband is in the mining industry so we decided to move here from Ontario, Canada.

Where do you work? I’ve worked at Parkes Shire Council for 5 years, with two and half years in my current role as Economic and Business Development Manager.

What do you enjoy about working for the Council? I love the diversity of the role and that I get the opportunity to work with the community and of course my team who are fabulous.

How do you start your day? With a beautiful small person (one of 3) giving me a cuddle then a strong black coffee.

What do you like to do in your spare time? I read children’s book and play lego with my kids and in my own time I love to read a good book and take my dog for a nice, quiet walk.

What makes your day? Working closely with the community is a job I’m passionate about and getting to visit my children at school when the occasion arises.

What A Lifestyle!

355981_2712068big

Covering approximately 10 acres nestled on the edge of town, this tucked away retreat is situated in one of the most sought after and fastest growing locations. The generously sized home features four stunning bedrooms sure to leave you speechless as you take a tour around the grounds.

One feature of the property bound to impress is the master bedroom complete with large en-suite and walk-in wardrobe, a fashionistas dream! The open plan living room leads onto a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar and, most importantly, wine storage. Other features include a 3-way main bathroom and separate family or rumpus room
ideal for the kids.

Outdoors, why not relax on the timber decking before taking a dip in the in-ground salt pool complete with ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning? Even though all these luxuries are at your fingertips, it’s important to also have the basics which is why the property also has a double colourbond shed with a double carport for added security, a dam and tank water.

Current tenants are in lease until March 2016 when this beautiful house could be yours! If you’d like to book an inspection, please call the team at Century 21 today on 6862 5832.

Hi Michael, thanks for being the first Our Bloke! No worries at all.

How long have you lived in or around Parkes? For approximately 10 months.

So you’re a newbie! Where do you work? I took up the position with SCU as Branch Manager, moving from Sydney where I had worked with CBA in management for 13 years.

What do you love most about working at SCU? I love meeting the people, interaction with our members and being able to provide real solutions to any problems our members may have.

How do you like to start your day? I head out for a 40-50 minute walk each morning.

What do you do in your spare time? I am heavily involved with the local Rugby League Club, the Spacemen, and have taken the role of Treasurer.

How do you like your coffee? Black.

What makes your day? Being able to make a difference.
