Biographical text
Article 'Doreen Goss' pp88-91, Pitt Water Chronicles Volume 3 (June 2021)
"I called us the league of nations because we had Mum Scottish, Dad Danish, and the three kids were New Zealanders."
"On the day of the 1967 bushfires the Orielton Lagoon absolutely dried up... It was a horrible day... Fortunately, that weekend Jeanette and I had dug out the bracken across our back yard, which saved our house."
"In 1987 Theo Casimaty was Warden, Doug Stewart was the Council Clerk and Doreen remembers Councillors Tom Dunbabin, Graeme Gill and Brian Dean. The Council still had a ward system at the time, with Councillors elected by their local community for a two-year term... Sealing roads, public transport, water, sewerage and the 1988 Bicentenary were the big issues of the day."
