Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Kim Chambers

May 15, 2020 By editor

How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here? I was born in Parkes and have lived here all my life. Having grown up in the town you get to know a lot of people. Everything you need is here.

Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? I am retired and have been for 12 years from the DMR, RTA. I love to get in the shed and do woodworking and furniture restoration.

What is your favourite thing to do when you have free time? I am a bit of an artist and every Wednesday I enjoy going to art group and doing some landscape painting. And I enjoy doing cryptic crosswords.

What makes you proud? My family – my children and grandchildren all live in Parkes and I am very proud of them all.

If you could be an animal which one would you choose, and why? A bird, I’d like to fly.

What is your all-time favourite movie, song and/or book, and why? I like the old movies: The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, The Sting; any Elvis music, I like to read paperback westerns.

Tell us about your best holiday. My best recent holiday was driving the Great Ocean Road and traveling through central Victoria.

What is on your bucket list? I would like to drive the Eyre Highway along the Nullabor and play the Nullabor Links (world’s longest golf course).
