    In this episode, I'm talking with Susan Gray. She's the president of the Tilba District Chamber of Commerce in the southern region of New South Wales, and the owner of the main pub in Tilba. We're talking about a business owner hit by disaster. So, a little bit about Susan. Susan and her husband bought the Dromedary Hotel in Central Tilba almost exactly three years ago. Susan spent around half the year travelling around the world for work. Prior to being an airport consultant, Susan was a journalist and editor and then a corporate communications and business development director with a major global food operator. While her partner was the CEO of a global media business. They both have a lot of business experience, and the pub that they now own is managed by family and trusted locals. Susan's originally from the UK and her partner is from Wollongong but his dad grew up in Tuross Head on the south coast of New South Wales so they knew the area a little bit before they bought the pub.
