Freycinet Peninsula Who's Who
Public Profile
As a fitness coach at Curves in Jamison, I help women with strength, endurance, flexibility and overall fitness. This is what we need to avoid Dementia and aged care for as long as possible. I fundraise for Dementia research and assist young Aussie scientists with their PhDs in the hope that one of them will find the greatly needed cure.
Dementia Demolition Squad. That's what we want to do - demolish dementia from our world. We organise and manage community events to fundraise for a cure. As authorised fundraisers for Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) we sponsor PhD scientists each year, assisting them in their research to find the cure.

Distinguished and Famous people from Freycinet Peninsula
Nicolas Baudin and the Freycinet brothers
The names around Freycinet preserve part of the French scientific expedition led by Nicolas Baudin in 1802. Its charting work helped identify coastal features, and the peninsula was named for the Freycinet brothers serving on the expedition. Members of the party also landed overnight on Schouten Island. These are navigational associations within a landscape with a much longer Aboriginal history. The names are one surviving record of that charting expedition.
