Old Staff Back on Deck

Albert and Freda Morrow look after the rookery and the kitchen garden. Freda keeps a good supply of ‘the sister’s’ favourite grain and knows each bird by name. Albert busies himself growing vegetables and keeps the house supplied. Right now he is harvesting peas and folk are sitting out shucking buckets of the little green pearls.

Regina Stoby was a matron of a small country hospital until she came to Riversleigh. She has been here for more years than she cares to remember. Guests often just call Reggie ‘Matron’. She has big arms and is ready to wrap a weary traveller up in a rug and bring them a nice cup of cooks chicken soup.

Colleen Andover is one of the housekeepers at Riversleigh. She keeps the vases filled with fresh flowers. At the moment the roses are blooming at Riversleigh and the perfume is drifting through opened windows.

Loretta Walsh is the in-house herbalist and acupunturist at Riversleigh. She spends hours sourcing herbs and root plants from the nearby hills with her companion dog, Walter.

Hannah Oakes tends the seed beds and regularly plants new seeds as residents arrive.

The Westover Triplets look after the old stables and the mares that take residents on night rides.
