Q&A with Lorna Fanning from the Warwick Show and Rodeo Society

This week’s Q&A is the voice of the Warwick Rodeo. Thank you for your time Lorna Fanning.

What’s something people may not know about you?

People would not know that my hair was snow-white until I was about six years old.

How do you like to spend your free time?

I love to spend my free time gardening.

What are you most grateful for?

I am most grateful for my country-like upbringing of hard work, honesty and respect for others.

Who is an inspiration to you?

It would have to be author Sara Henderson.

Which six guests, dead or alive, would be invited to your ultimate dinner party?

My late Mum and Dad, Gertie Brooks, singer Slim Dusty, poet Banjo Paterson, and Australian singer Chad Morgan.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

The best advice that has stuck with me is to always stick to your values.

What are you most passionate about?

Australian Stock Horses and Campdrafting is what I am most passionate about.

What is your biggest achievement?

Being named as the Volunteer of the Year in 2012 for ASHS and the Tribute to Australian Campdrafting in 2022 are my biggest achievements.
