Local legend: Meet Judy Bourke of Barracks Art Studios Thirroul
It would be fair to say that Judy Bourke is having a moment. The colourful local identity, unmistakeable thanks to her distinctive pink hair (in a style that combines a fringe with a tail) and colourful vintage look, is so well-known to locals that she can’t move without being stopped in the street or at Austi pool, where she swims daily. It makes daily chores take much longer than they should, but Judy turns every occasion into a social encounter.
