Rhonda’s incredible 36 years of service was celebrated recently by her colleagues at Summerland Farm as part of their International Women’s Day celebrations.
Her impressive milestone and important role in the team earned her a write up in the Byron Coast Times newspaper.
Rhonda started work in the farm’s nursery when she was 19 and has since taken on various roles, including work in the canteen and restaurant.
She now enjoys creating memorable high tea experiences for visitors and regularly assists with wedding setups, showcasing her flair for decorating.
“I love coming to work, I like helping people and being part of the team,” she said.
Elke Robinson, Summerland Farm Operations Manager said Rhonda exemplifies a life filled with purpose and connection.
“Rhonda quietly helps create the welcoming atmosphere that the farm is known for,” Elke said.
“Her time here has made it not just a workplace but a place where she’s grown in confidence, built lifelong friendships, and become a valued member of a community she cares deeply about.
“For many visitors, Rhonda may simply be one of the friendly faces at the farm. But for those who work alongside her, she represents something much bigger: a career spanning over three decades that proves inclusion is not just a concept but something the farm delivers every day.”
Congratulations Rhonda!
