Beryl Raby

"I could do the splits if I was asked to do it!"

105 and still tap dancing!

Piano music, fun and laughter were central to Beryl’s childhood. Born in Melbourne’s Moonee Ponds (well before Dame Edna Everage), she grew up in a creative household in Preston with a seamstress mother and a tap-dancing hairdresser father. Her journey took a turn during the war when she was separated from her fiancé for four long years. Thankfully their love prevailed and they married happily. Beryl became a ‘lady in black’ at Manton’s department store in the city of Melbourne where she worked in fashion. Now, at 105, Beryl’s infectious laughter and zeal for life continue to inspire those around her.
