Hello Reader,

We’re thrilled to introduce Dimi as a contributor to Seniors in Melbourne!

Dimi is a proud westside local, creative spirit, and lifelong Western Bulldogs supporter. She’s passionate about art (especially drawing trees), has been part of The Art Room for 14 years, and helps run the Williamstown Film Society.

She loves nothing more than spending time with her two daughters and three grandchildren, catching a theatre show, pottering in her veggie patch, or grabbing a coffee in Yarraville.

You can read some of Dimi’s recent reviews here:
🔹 Seaworks Maritime Precinct, Williamstown​
🔹 Altona Homestead Lantern Ghost Tour​
🔹 Dame Vera Lynn Tribute Shows​

If you spot a review with heart and humour, there’s a good chance it’s from Dimi!

Warmly,
Amy
