By Dan Hutton on October 17, 2011 in People

Helen Byrnes has lived in Clovelly for eight years. She was born in Lismore and grew up in Uralla before moving to Sydney 25 years ago. Helen owns Workspace Commercial Furniture (manufacturing Australian products in Australia) with her husband Peter. She is also a self-confessed charity worker, helping out any time she can with various causes. You can check out her fundraising for the Oncology Children’s Foundation at www.gofundraise.com.au/ page/ByrnesH. Helen shares her local favourites with The Beast…

Favourite Beach: Being a country girl, I’m not a confident surf swimmer so I love Clovelly. It’s a bit like a big dam.

Eatery: Specc at Clovelly (my second kitchen) is the most terrific value for money eatery in the Eastern Suburbs. Simon, you are the best!

Watering Hole: In my younger days I would have said anywhere on Oxford Street but now I love to have a quiet drink or a couple of loud drinks at the Clovelly Hotel.

Sporting Team: I married into a tragic South Sydney Rabbitohs family so go the Bunnies!

Music: It is very varied. There are too many talented musos out there to name even a few.

Person: Anyone who is kind and considerate to others.

Weekend Activity: There are so many to choose from but I like travelling, going out, kids sport, lazy days, shopping and generally just having fun.

Quote: “Be good to yourself and others”.

Favourite Thing About Your Work: Working with my husband and helping others.

Final Word: Please support the St Anthony’s School Fete on October 30th, 2011.
