ZETA Newbound shows no intention of slowing down her life after celebrating her 100th birthday with members of Flinders Probus Club. Picture: Supplied ing. She was 17. He served in the Royal Australian Navy during World War II while Zeta trained as a warden and continued teaching. They again met at a conference and, following a whirlwind courtship, married in 1952 at St Kilda Methodist Church. Her Uncle was the minister, and the ceremony was held without photos or reception, but a honeymoon at the Flinders Hotel. They lived in Hampton and their family soon included daughter, Peta and son, Michael. The couple bought a holiday house in Shoreham in 1959 and then built a house at Flinders in 1985. Max Newbound died in 1992, aged 67. Zeta Newbound was on the committee and
pennant captain at Flinders Golf Club, a member of Somers Probus and is now a member of Flinders Probus, Flinders Community Association, Flinders District Historical Society and the exercise group. Max and Zeta Newbound travelled overseas and went caravanning around Australia together. After his death she continued to spend winters in Queensland, driving her campervan alone. Some of Zeta Newbound’s thoughts: Washing machines are “he best invention”; burnt orange is her favourite colour and “dark chocolate and white wine” among her favourite things ; however, she gets “really disappointed with the way we are messing up the world. We need to use more common sense”.
