Rob and Jo Hodges, who married in 2010, moved their family of three to Noosa in 2024<\/p>\n

‘Our daughter Darcy has been accepted into an amazing swimming squad, and all the kids have been enrolled and accepted into school.<\/p>\n

‘This is a fantastic opportunity for Darcy and one that will help her reach her goals in swimming. How could we not take this opportunity?’<\/p>\n

She added she loved Mount Gambier too much to say goodbye to it forever and was going to travel there every month to help remotely manage her wellness business.<\/p>\n

‘My passion and my commitment to return every five weeks is an easy choice as I could never stay away from her too long! Our new chapter awaits us in 2024!’<\/p>\n
