with our family and others.”
And throughout all that entertaining, world
travel and adventuring, Simone has been busy
plotting Hillview’s next chapter ... and the family’s
next big project.
“The old dairy still stands and now that we
have fi nished renovating the main homestead,
I’m hoping to start on it,” she says. “I’m quite

given our family. I’m hoping it will take care of us,
our family and great-grandchildren for many
years to come.”
