Parkes Phoenix

Our Bloke – Rhys Forrestal

October 11, 2019 By Maggi Barnard

Rhys Forrestal

 

How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like most about living here? I moved to Parkes nearly five years ago from Coffs Harbour. I like the country atmosphere and friendliness of the locals.

Where do you work or what do you do currently and what do you enjoy about it? At the moment I am looking for work.

What is your favourite thing to do when you have free time? I enjoy catching up with family and friends, the theatre and watching car races. This weekend I will be glued in front of the TV for the Bathurst 1000!

What makes you proud? How caring and supportive members of the Parkes Musical & Dramatic Society are, as well as the staff of Currajong Disability Services.

If you could be an animal which one would you choose, and why? I would love to be a koala as they are caring and cuddly, and an Australian animal!

What is your all-time favourite movie, song and/or book, and why? My favourite movies are Patch Adams and Mrs Doubtfire with Robin Williams as he was a genius comedian. My favourite book at the moment is Jamie Oliver’s Five Ingredients as I love cooking.

Tell us about your best holiday. I went to New Zealand and my favourite part was the Milford Sound on the South Island as it was so tranquil and peaceful.

What is on your bucket list? I am passionate about acting and would love to become an actor or a wildlife warrior like Steve Irwin. I would also like to visit Universal Studios in America.
