Reader of the Week: Julie Graham

Three people I would love to invite to dinner:

Johnny Depp, but he must be dressed as the pirate Jack Sparrow; The Monkees singer Davy Jones; and chef Neil Perry — he could whip up something tasty in the kitchen before joining us at the table.

Most amazing thing I've ever done: Climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge at dusk. The view and city lights are just amazing.

Down to my last $10, I would spent it on . . . A few bars of Turkish Delight.

My favourite phrase: "Get over it!".

My fantasy job is: To go on an archaeological dig searching an Egyptian tomb, joining Time Team or perhaps digging up Sydney's past.

If I could travel back in time I would love to meet . . . My great-grandfather George Winter Wood. I have a lot of questions to ask him about his great engineering skills, drawing plans and his famous all-Australian-made petrol driven car, the Australis, which he built with his father in 1900.

My earliest memory is: Going for pony rides when I was four years old at Rouse Hill/Vineyard alongside Windsor Road. I think it was called The Jack and Jill Picnic Grounds.

In the future . . . I'd really like to find a shop that sells size 5 shoes.

What people may not know about me is: Many years ago I taught art in my studio in Baulkham Hills to children and adults.

My last meal would be: Seafood.

The one thing I will never throw out: My Cyclops Dinky. My Dad used to put it out on the kerbside each council clean-up campaign and I would bring it back in. It is part of my collection of antiques and memorabilia.

My greatest fear: Would have to be spiders — give me the creeps.

My first car was: A red Ford Laser.

Wierdest thing in my glovebox: The car manual…that’s it!

On my bedside table is: Hand cream, lip cream and a glass or two of water.

A movie I think everyone should see: 'Pirates of the Carribean..On Stranger Tides'. A very funny movie.
