Paul Cooper

How long have you lived in Canowindra?
We bought land in Canowindra 12 years ago but finally moved into our house in 2011.

Do you enjoy it? Certainly do! Canowindra’s name rang true to us the very first time my beautiful wife and I visited 18 years ago. It had been our dream as a young couple to live in the country.

Where do you work? My primary job is working for the Western NSW Local Health District as a Regional Nurse Educator. My second job is working for the NSW Department of Health’s Education Unit called HETI (Health Education Training Institute) and my third job is working in one of Canowindra’s tasty food outlets, Pizza and Souvlaki Co.

What do you like to do in your spare time? Work on our property. I have sheep, chickens, cats, dogs, an awesome wife and two amazing teenage daughters. Feathers and fur farming is the easy part!

How do you like your coffee? Sore topic! I loved coffee; it just didn’t return the love.

What makes you laugh? Fart scenes in movies usually do it. Billy Connolly’s skits on colonoscopy preparations and prostrate examinations are my go to whenever I’ve
have a bad day!
