SHERYL PORTER
Lab Assistant, Townsville Orthodontic Specialists
SUBURB: Burdell
AKA: Shez
I’M RENOWNED FOR: Being artistic, a dog lover, and an indecisive over thinker that’s always hungry!
ONLY A LOCAL WOULD KNOW… Winter is the most gorgeous time of year in Townsville.
MY MOST MEMORABLE HOLIDAY WAS… a trip to Tassie with my best friend since Grade 8 to celebrate our 40th year. My birthday was at Bridestowe Lavender Estate – wine, antipasto, strawberries and cherries direct from the farms and a view in Bicheno.
RIGHT NOW I WISH I WAS… travelling Tassie with my partner.
MY FAVOURITE DAY IS: Saturday. Sleep-ins and coffee catch-ups.
THE FUNNIEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME WAS… more surreal than funny. Around 2002 I was in front of a teller in the Westpac Bank in the Mall as a guy was robbing the next teller. I thought it was a joke when he said; “Put all the money in the bag and don’t press the alarm!”
SOMEONE FAMOUS I MET WAS: Unfortunately it’s who I didn’t meet. He’s my favourite actor. My brother and sister-in-law lived in Bowen when Hugh Jackman was filming Australia. My sis-in-law worked in the bakery where he went EVERYDAY! To this day I wonder what prevented me from driving to Bowen to visit the family! That darned work business most likely.
MY MOTTO IS: Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. (Creates problems when packing for holidays).
