My name is Caleb Francis, and I am the media adviser to state Member for Shepparton Kim O’Keeffe.

Where are you from?

I am originally from from Cape Town, South Africa.

How long have you been in Shepparton?

I arrived in Shepparton in December 2019.

Why did you move to Shepparton?

My dad was offered a position as a priest at Shepparton’s Saint Augustine’s Anglican Church.

Can you tell us more about your arrival in Australia?

Moving to Australia was a thrilling experience, although the timing was ‘bumpy’, with its share of unexpected twists. Touching down in December 2019, little did we anticipate the roller-coaster ride that awaited us. As March 2020 rolled around, so did the onset of nationwide lockdowns. Yet amid the chaos, there was a silver lining: the precious moments spent with family.
