I have been with the Toorak Times since April 2012. I worked as Senior Editor of the Toorak Times until 2023, when I retired. I now work as a special features contributor for both the Toorak Times and Tagg. I've been in the Australian music scene as a musician since 1964, and have worked in radio and TV and newspapers (when they were actually printed on paper) as well as working in the film industry, as the Film Unit manager on Homicide for several years. I also have extensive experience in audio production and editing.

Listen To Older Voices : Carol Cochran – Part 2

Listen To Older Voices : Carol Cochran – Part 2 Welcome to Listen To Older Voices, 
a program produced  by Rob Greaves for Uniting Melba and podcast through 
the Toorak Times and Tagg.
Listen To Older Voices presents the stories, views and opinions of our older citizens. It is predominantly in a life & times format, with interviewees reflecting upon their lives from earliest memories. An underlying principal of the program is to promote the concept of positive ageing, reinforcing the principle that older people have & continue to make a valuable contribution to both their local & wider community.

In the second part of the story of Baby Boomer, Carol Cochran, we learn how she became the CEO of a Junior Football Association in Melbourne

However, it is her story of not only how she not just learned ballroom dancing when most other kids were enjoying rock ‘n roll, but became an instructor. This leads to Carol sharing stories of her journeys throughout Asia, where she toured as part of a dance demonstration team. In fact it was as Ballroom Dancing instructor that her path crossed with the late and great Johnny O’Keefe, who tried chatting her up.
