Our Bloke – Barry Traves

8 July, 2021 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

How long have you lived in or around Canowindra and what do you like about living here? All my life. I like the area and the people in it. I have a lot of good friends here.

How are you involved in the Canowindra community? I am a life member of the Canowindra Tigers Junior Rugby League Club and I am vice president and life member of the Canowindra Tigers Senior Rugby League Club.

Where do you work and what do you enjoy most about your work? I work at Chiropractic Life in Canowindra as a remedial massage therapist. I like that there is always something different that challenges me and all the treatment we are doing. I can see that it is beneficial to people and they can function more productively in their lives.

What do you do to unwind after work or on weekends? Go and have a beer with my mates, usually with the footy club. Family barbeques are good too.

What are you good at? Talking and I am told massage.

What is your pet hate? I do not like the attitude of people who think they are better than everyone else. Most of the time, they are not.

What is on your bucket list? Snow skiing in New Zealand.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why? To find the reasons why people get cancer and other illnesses.

Tell us about your best holiday ever? Riding mules down the Grand Canyon.

What makes your day? Seeing people living happily and my family being well.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself? I do not have a belly button.
