Parkes Phoenix

Our Gal

May 11, 2017 By editor

Raelene Rout

How long have you lived in Parkes and what do you like about living here?
We have been living in Parkes for 12 years. I like living in Parkes because I am surrounded by happy, vibrant people.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy about your work?
I worked at Agri-west in Peak Hill, Parkes and Forbes. The thing I enjoyed most were the lovely cus- tomers I saw every day. Today, I work with 66 fabulous ladies from Quota International of Parkes who passionately support the deaf, hard of hearing, speech impaired and women and children in our local commu- nity and around the world. Our major fundraisers this year are the Open Heritage Event held in April, and our Open Gardens in October.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends?
I love to mosaic or spend time in our garden with family and friends.

What are you really good at?
Keeping busy! I don’t spend enough time at home.

If you could have a super power, what would it be?
Create a fat free and healthy chocolate that tastes like real chocolate.

What is your pet hate?
Toilet rolls on backwards! And odd socks … I can’t wear odd socks!

Tell us about your best holiday ever.
We went to Africa two years ago, I fell in love with Africa and could go back tomorrow. Beautiful people, amazing scenery and loads of fun.
