Adrienne lives almost on the Sandringham beach opposite Royal Avenue and spends some time on
most days either running or walking along the beach with her dog, Rally. Apart from a (too long!) 15
year stint living in the Kew/Surrey Hills area, she has always lived in Bayside. She loves the beach life,
swimming, occasional cycling to Williamstown along the bike track with friends, and sailing in the
bay with her partner, Terry.
Adrienne lectured for 10 years in the University system in Accounting Information Systems then
worked for 10 years in the training department of a multi-national software corporation, training the
corporations customers and managing the corporations Asia Pacific internal training. Having had
many opportunities to travel in her working life, Adrienne is now enjoying a busy life in retirement
doing such things as travelling just for the enjoyment of seeing different places and cultures, snow
skiing in Canada, sailing in the Aegean Sea and boating in the Whitsundays.
Adrienne met Vicki Karalis frequently on the beach while they were both walking their dogs, and
talking about local Bayside issues, Adrienne joined as a member of the Sandringham Foreshore
Association (SFA). At a meeting with Bayside councillors recently, Adrienne and Vicki are very
encouraged to see that council is willing to listen to and act on the concerns of local residents,
particularly with respect to sand management, removal of debris from the beach area, attending to
the effects of vandalism and trying to achieve a balance between the differing and sometimes
opposing opinions associated with beachside foliage, parking facilities and beach views.
Adrienne is passionate about protecting the way of life we currently enjoy, both for ourselves and
for future generations, against the effects of climate change, and pushing strongly for our suburb
live up to its name of Bayside: beautiful sandy beaches and clean sea water.
